Timor Telecom Renews and Expands
with O3b Networks, Continues Mobile and Broadband Advancements
O3b Networks today announced an agreement with Timor Telecom,
the leading Timor-Leste Full Service Operator (FSP), to continue
providing high-throughput, low-latency connectivity over O3b’s
innovative satellite-enabled network. Timor Telecom first
started using the O3b network in 2014, and has upgraded capacity
several times to keep up with soaring data demand and launch
mobile data services.
The O3b connection provides Timor Telecom with fiber-equivalent
internet performance, which has allowed the company to provide a
differentiated 3G service to customers across the country. The company
leads the nation in telecommunications innovations, and will continue to
use the O3b link to deliver ever-improving Quality of Experience (QoE)
for subscribers.
Timor Telecom receives more than 1Gbps of international connectivity
from O3b, delivered to 2 sites, one in Dilli and another in Baucau. With
the redundant terminal sites, Timor Telecom has taken full advantage of
O3b’s expertise in network architecture. The result is Timor Telecom
boasting excellent service reliability with network availability
exceeding 99.9%.
“The quality of experience has dramatically increased for Timor
Telecom’s subscribers since we went live over O3b,” said Manuel Capitao
Amaro, CEO of Timor Telecom. “Our customers benefit from the game
changing impact of faster and better quality internet connections
coupled with the high reliability we’ve been able to achieve, knowing
they can count on their Timor Telecom connection when they need it
most.”
“Timor Telecom has worked closely with O3b to deploy a diversified
Software Defined Network solution, developing a world-class network
architecture here in Timor-Leste,” said Imran Malik, VP, Asia Pacific of
O3b Networks. “Bringing advanced mobile internet to Timor is a huge
achievement, and O3b Networks is thrilled to be enabling Timor Telecom
to continue making enormous strides in their service offerings to an
increasing number of customers in the Timor-Leste market.”
