Tachyon Selects Eutelsat SESAT 2 Satellite to Expand Service Offering in Southwest Asia Region
An Additional 54MHz of Capacity Available for Fixed, Portable, COTM and Airborne Networking Applications
PARIS and SAN DIEGO, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tachyon Networks, developer of the aXiom Series of end-to-end
remote networking solutions for fixed, portable and comms-on-the-move (COTM)
applications and Eutelsat America Corp., the American subsidiary of Eutelsat
Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL), one of the world's leading satellite
operators, today announced that Tachyon is expanding its broadband capacity
over Southwest Asia with a capacity lease on Eutelsat's SESAT 2 satellite.
The 54MHz of Ku-band capacity has been deployed to meet high demand for
satellite services in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. Additionally,
Tachyon's global network enables reachback from Southwest Asia to the United
States and locations worldwide, and is especially tailored to airborne and
mobile COTM applications.
"We are pleased to be able to offer our customers this
additional 54MHz of high-performance satellite capacity as a part of our
global satellite broadband coverage," stated Dan Negroni, VP of Sales and
Marketing for Tachyon Networks. "Demand for aXiom 7000 Series end-to-end
solutions for air, land and sea has continued to grow, and this partnership
with Eutelsat America allows us to better serve our military and enterprise
customers for Managed Solutions or other capacity needs in Southwest Asia."
Demand for satellite broadband communication services in
Southwest Asia, especially for Comms-on-the-Move (COTM) applications, has
grown significantly in recent years. However, lack of supply of satellite
broadband capacity with sufficient power has thwarted market growth. Located
at 53degrees East, SESAT 2 provides high-power Ku-band coverage in Southwest
Asia for telecommunications and broadband services and is also ideally suited
for Airborne COTM networking.
Ron Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat America Corp.,
responded, "We are delighted that the bandwidth, reach and quality of our
satellite solutions meet the exacting requirements of Tachyon, a leading
provider of end-to-end Airborne COTM solutions for Southwest Asia, and
extremely successful for over a decade in delivering unique and mission
critical Managed Solutions on a worldwide basis."
In addition to satellite capacity, Tachyon's aXiom 7000 Series solutions
include all hardware, application integration, engineering services, as well
as active network management and monitoring for both secure and non-secure,
public and private satellite networks. Tachyon's 24/7 Network Operations
Center (NOC) manages and monitors a wide range of network activity, settings
and conditions and provides an integrated set of tools for airborne
networking. Tachyon provides customers with a high level of visibility into
their network including real time and historical network health and
monitoring statistics as well as traffic usage data.
Availability
Capacity is available today to customers as a stand-alone
service or as a part of Tachyon's aXiom 7000 Series end-to-end network
solutions. aXiom solutions will be on display at Satellite 2011 March 15
through 17 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C.
booth 280.
