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."
