Vizada Networks Ramps up Capacity on Eutelsat W7 Satellite
15 June 2011
Vizada Networks, has further increased the capacity it leases on the powerful W7 satellite operated by Eutelsat Communications 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.
