The estate said it has signed a lease for Los Angeles-based TransVision International, which plans to build a four-antenna complex at a cost of $3 million. Another tenant, Vision Accomplished Hawaii, expects to have four new antennas completed this month and there are eight there already, Campbell Estate said.
Doing business as TxVision, TransVision already is in Hawaii.
It has three mobile satellite dishes used to transmit sporting events to television viewers on the mainland and in the Pacific.
TxVision will use fiber-optic cable to bring the Internet from the mainland to Kapolei, then use the satellites to bridge the connection to China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and India.
It will also transmit educational video and other audio-visual materials.
The Kapolei Teleport has four satellite antennas operated by Loral Cyberstar, two run by Verizon Hawaii and two operated by USAsia Telecom.
