Supernet Selects LeoSat
for High-Speed Data
Network
September 12, 2017
LeoSat Enterprises has
entered into a strategic
agreement with Supernet,
Pakistan’s leading
satellite network
service provider and
systems integrator,
specializing in
end-to-end satellite
based GSM backhaul and
enterprise networks.
Through this agreement,
LeoSat will provide
Supernet with over 3
Gbps of capacity on its
unique low earth orbit
(LEO) network
infrastructure.
LeoSat’s network
combines the speed of
fiber with the ubiquity
of satellite ideal for
cellular and enterprise
networks, enabling
Supernet to offer a full
portfolio of local to
global integrated
communications solutions
to facilitate the key
business processes of
corporate, SME and
individual customers.
As
cellular protocols
become more and more
sophisticated and
cellular use
accelerates, there is an
ever- increasing need to
transport cellular
signals for long
distances, at high
speeds, in high volume
and native form.
For existing and
emerging market telecom
operators, LeoSat offers
significant advantages
as its latency, timing
and transport are in
compliance with the
network standards of the
newer 4G, 5G and LTE
cellular systems.
LeoSat’s system with
lower latency and
stronger end-to-end
security compared to
traditional satellite
and terrestrial
solutions used today is
achieved through a
unique architecture
utilizing
inter-satellite laser
links, creating an
optical backbone in
space with fiber-like
symmetry at gigabit per
second speeds. It also
provides unprecedented
security as the data is
encrypted from
end-to-end across the
network, with no
terrestrial touch
points.
LeoSat’s Chief
Commercial Officer,
Ronald van der Breggen,
said: “We are delighted
that Supernet, an
established and highly
respected provider of
communications services
has chosen LeoSat to
take its infrastructure
to the next level,
ensuring its leading
position in the data
communications industry
of Pakistan and South
Asia. The LeoSat
constellation offers a
completely new dimension
in terms of connectivity
and we are already
seeing a high level of
interest from a number
of key markets such as,
enterprise, finance,
government and energy”.
Shams
Arfeen, CEO of Supernet
said “Leosat represents
the next major step in
the evolution of
satellite communications
networks. With access to
LeoSat’s innovative
infrastructure,
customers across a wide
array of verticals will
be able to use a
game-changing service
which redefines
satellite connectivity
in terms of capacity,
latency, security,
efficiency and
coverage”.
LeoSat is currently
working with Thales
Alenia Space, a company
with unmatched expertise
in designing and
manufacturing LEO
satellites, to finalize
the manufacturing plan,
paving the way for the
production and
deployment of the entire
constellation. ENDS
