An uni-directional Ku-band link is ready and its bandwidth is 2Mbps from Japan to Asian countries. All the p2p links are in asymmetric configuration: 1.5Mbps from Japan and 512kbps to Japan. Between 2 hub stations, 10Mbps ATM link is currently installed.


As the AI3 earth stations, the 2 hub stations are up and 7 rim stations are up at present. These stations are maintained by each partner site.
