Vizada Networks Ramps up Capacity on Eutelsat W7 Satellite
PARIS and OSLO, Norway, June 15, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Vizada Networks, the global satellite communications and
telecommunications specialist, has further increased the capacity it leases
on the powerful W7 satellite operated by Eutelsat Communications (Euronext
Paris: ETL) to support its portfolio of Internet and data services in
Europe, North Africa, the CIS region and the Middle East. A new capacity
agreement signed between both companies extends their close working
relationship to 2014 and establishes Vizada as one of the leading clients on
W7 for Internet and data services.
Vizada Networks' services on W7 are based on two technology platforms
offering a wide portfolio of services, primarily to customers in Iraq and
Afghanistan, within the government, corporate, ISP and voice sectors. In
addition to services based on iDirect (DVB-S2/ACM) and TBB (Taide Broadband
- DVB-S2), Vizada Networks has introduced an all new technology platform in
2011; called JanUX Mark II, it is based on a DVB-S2/ACM foundation and
offers numerous benefits over previous generation systems.
"Our new guaranteed capacity on W7 enables us to expand and enhance our
dedicated and shared services to our customers particularly in the Middle
East," comments Stefano Vittor, Chief Executive Officer, Vizada Networks.
"In addition to our proven existing services, our new technology platform
enables us to offer a new standardised service package that, like all of our
services on W7,is reliable, cost-effective and functionality rich. The new
platform supports the consolidation of our Eutelsat capacity and future
growth on W7."
Andrew Wallace, Eutelsat's Chief Commercial Officer, added: "Vizada
Networks is a hallmark for quality turnkey solutions for customers requiring
high levels of connectivity and reliability. We are very pleased that the
power and reach afforded by our W7 satellite meet their requirements and
look forward to further consolidating our partnership in the long term."
Vizada Networks' guaranteed capacity on W7 is routed through the Vizada
Networks teleport in Oslo, providing constant connectivity across the board;
from Internet communications to high volume trunking at single sites and for
complex networks. Services use compact Ku-band VSAT terminals and benefit
from in-house developed QoS and Service Level Agreements to secure high
availability and an unmatched user experience.
