Bedminster - Apr 11, 2003
Loral Skynet, a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications has introduced SkyReach, a group of Internet protocol (IP)-based services that provide secure private networks and high-speed Internet access using Skynet's established global infrastructure.

"SkyReach provides our customers with a single global platform for both enterprise-grade networking and high-speed Internet access," said Terry Hart, president, Loral Skynet. "SkyReach ensures that each location, however geographically or technologically challenged, has high-quality and reliable access to both its private intranets as well as the public Internet."

Using very small aperture terminal (VSAT) and fiber infrastructure, teleports and network operating centers in North America, Europe and Asia, SkyReach will deliver a wide-range of one-way and two-way IP services around the world. Flexible, scaleable and easily deployed, SkyReach gives organizations an instant global wide area network (WAN), Internet access and cost-effective IP applications.

SkyReach provides:

The highest-speed return channel: Support from 256 kbps up to 2 mbps.
Global coverage: Comprehensive intercontinental coverage is provided by Skynet's fully integrated global network of satellites and ground-based infrastructure.
Simplicity of bandwidth upgrade: A simple phone call allows customers to request specific-location or network-wide bandwidth upgrades that are fulfilled quickly by remote network management.
One-source vendor: From space segment and system design to equipment installation and ongoing maintenance, Skynet provides a one-stop shop for all elements of the network.

Using VSATs, SkyReach allows organizations to create an instant infrastructure for a network that can connect offices within a city or around the globe.

Using an IP infrastructure that incorporates digital video broadcast/return channel satellite (DVB-RCS) open standards, SkyReach supports C-, Ku- and Ka-band frequencies, offers higher throughput and efficiency than current VSAT networks and allows end-users to easily interchange on-site equipment.

SkyReach supports current IP-network services including:, Private networks, Frame-relay/MPLS backup and remote connectivity, Managed data services, Thin client/ASP edge caching (at the terminal), Internet/intranet access, Bandwidth on demand, Always on broadband connectivity
