Talia and PolarSat Bring Full Hubless Mesh to Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America

14 March 2013

Talia and PolarSat are pleased to announce the availability of new satellite mesh networking solutions. With coverage throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Central Asia, and Latin America, Talia's mesh solution, powered by PolarSat's proven technology, gives true hubless site to site mesh for key applications such as air traffic control, banking, gas and oil, mining, and government services.

'Bringing out an affordable, reliable site-to-site satellite mesh networking solution has always been one of our targets,' said Ramiz Abbawi, Sales Director Middle East and Africa for Talia. 'PolarSat's fully-integrated VSATPlus®3 platform and track-record -- this is a fourth-generation product -- delivers real benefits for many customers in my regions.'

Mesh services interconnect remote sites without a central point of control, allowing satellite interconnection over a single hop, reducing inter-site latency from 1200ms by approximately half. This is important for any real-time application, such as voice, video conferencing, database access, and other client/server applications. Many real time applications cannot function with latency above 800ms. A hubless solution also removes reliance on a single control node.

'We're excited about offering new services through Talia,' said Ron Mankarious, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at PolarSat.  'With Talia's global coverage and excellent customer track record we feel that they are an ideal partner.  The VSATPlus®3 product expands Telias extensive solution portfolio to provide private network solutions combined with full mesh connectivity that delivers a high quality solutions at an affordable price point.'
