Westar Satellite Services at Satcon 2007
September 2007

We are pleased to announce that we will be present at the Satcon exhibition, at the Javits Center in New York. Visit us at booth 905 between October 10-11 to learn about the latest news about our network expansion plans. We will be showing the results of our recent major investments and announcing more ambitious projects.

Customer Survey Results
August 2007

Westar Satellite Services would like to thank all our customers who participated in our survey. And congratulations to Shandy Arellano, the lucky winner of the iPod!

We are working very hard to improve and expand our services based on the customer demands. An online booking system was requested by most of the respondents, and it has been already implemented as our Video Service Order.

We noticed some confusion about Westar's offering, therefore we have also created a Westar Interconnectivity Directory (WID), a printable list of the venues that customers can use to access the Westar Network, both on occasional and full time basis.

And last but not least, we have refocused our expansion plans based on the survey results; the network will grow where it is needed the most. If you did not have the chance to complete our survey, please do not hesitate to contact us with your needs; we may be already working on bringing the Westar network to your door.

Green Energy for Westar
June 2007

Westar Satellite Services is determined to help preserving the environment for future generations, and as part of this effort it has chosen Green Mountain Energy as its energy provider for all its facilities in Texas.

Electricity generation in the U.S. causes more carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution each year than all the cars and trucks on the road combined, hence supporting the production of electricity from  renewable sources can make a substantial difference in decreasing pollution and long term environmental damage. Green Mountain Energy guarantees that at least 10% of the power consumed by Westar comes from renewable sources, and both companies are confident that this percentage will increase in the future as more wind farms and hydroelectric plants are built.

The Westar team keeps growing
