VSAT NEWS

Princeton NJ (SPX) Oct 26, 2005
With its first wholesale customer signed and several trials underway, SES Americom Tuesday launched IPConnect, a centralized distribution platform designed to serve key enterprise markets with a powerful suite of satellite-delivered, IP-based voice, video and data solutions.

In conjunction with the SATCON conference and Expo in New York, SES Americom unveiled its new IPConnect VNO (Virtual Network Operator) services, enabling enterprise service providers to cost-effectively operate their own virtual VSAT network and offer everything from basic Web surfing and point-of-sale authorizations to business continuity, voice over IP (VoIP), video, and private networks.

The company also announced a suite of IPConnect services, based on Verestar's IPLex offering acquired by SES Americom in December 2004. The refined services allow corporate networks and public organizations to tap dedicated and shared bandwidth for an array of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint applications, including voice and videoconferencing.

"IPConnect delivers the solutions communications service providers, corporations, and organizations of all types and sizes must have to meet the evolving demand for secure, cost-effective enterprise communications across North America and around the world," said Brent Bruun, president of North American enterprise solutions for SES Americom.

"Delivered over the world's most reliable satellite-centric hybrid distribution network, IPConnect arms businesses with the power of customized voice, video and data."

First IPConnect VNO Customer

Signal Mountain Networks has inked the first IPConnect VNO agreement with SES Americom. The Atlanta-based network integrator is providing secure voice and data services across the U.S. and around the world to businesses and government agencies serving mission-critical markets, including oil and gas, hospitality, disaster recovery, homeland security, and national defense.

"Signal Mountain Networks customers demand highly reliable and flexible connectivity solutions to run secure, mission-critical operations throughout the U.S. and the world," said Jonathan Huffman, president of Signal Mountain Networks.

"IPConnect VNO is the best satellite-delivered enterprise-class product available for primary, back-up, and parallel networks. Given the complexity of today's international communications networks, having a single point of contact in SES Americom is a real competitive advantage."
