Connexstar provides commercial-grade, always-on broadband connectivity to multi-site enterprises of any size. The service supports a wide range of business applications, including high-speed credit authorization, in-store licensed music, distance learning, content multicasting and secure private networking services - all through a single, compact, remote access device incorporating advanced networking and routing functionality.

New Edge Networks will offer Connexstar throughout the United States and Canada. New Edge Networks will bill and collect from its customers. Spacenet will provide, install and maintain broadband satellite systems on behalf of New Edge.

New Edge Networks intends to market and sell Connexstar services direct, through agents, and its reselling partners. The company is already accepting orders.

"Where we cannot cover the map with other broadband access technology options such as DSL, frame relay, private line or Cable TV, we will offer Connexstar - Spacenet's industry-leading, business-class satellite broadband service," said Dan Moffat, president and CEO of New Edge Networks.

"With a single point of contact with New Edge Networks, customers now have a choice of carriers, technologies, and products at virtually any business address in the United States."

New Edge Networks will link its nationwide network with Spacenet in McLean, Va., where the satellite data traffic hand-off occurs between the two companies. New Edge Networks uses its national backbone network for delivering data traffic to its customers' destinations.

"For years, many of the world's largest multi-site enterprises have relied on Connexstar satellite technology to power their wide area networks. Now, connectivity industry leaders such as New Edge are adding satellite to their technology portfolios, thereby affirming that satellite plays a critical role in today's blended, multi-site business environment," said Bill Gerety, president and CEO of Spacenet.

"We believe Spacenet's industry-leading technology, as well as its experience providing networks for some of the world's largest blue-chip companies, make us a great fit for New Edge Networks."

Business customers can choose among three satellite bandwidth options that start at $99 per month, plus the one-time cost of a satellite dish and installation.
