Walker Activates 2,000 Terminal
in Libya on Hughes Systems
10
October 2013
Bentley
Walker has activated its 2,000th
terminal in Libya. Bentley’s
growth comes after just one year
of operating its two Hughes HN
and HX System NOCs (Network
Operations Centres) over
Avanti’s Hylas 2 satellite,
providing Ka-band broadband
services to the local market.
This
expansion in the Libyan market
follows the successful provision
of Ka-band broadband data and
voice services to US military
personnel in Afghanistan,
augmenting existing Ku-band
offerings with higher speeds at
lower cost using a smaller dish.
Bentley Walker operates the
industry’s leading platforms
from Hughes—the HN System
provides highly secure and
highly available IP transport
for data, and real-time video
and voice; the HX platform
optimises satellite bandwidth
utilisation, delivering maximum
flexibility and operational
cost-effectiveness.
“We have a
strong history of success
working with Hughes,” says
Anthony Walker, CEO, Bentley
Walker, “and are delighted that
our confidence in the Middle
East market is proving to be
fully justified.”
In another
move to further expand its
presence in the region, Bentley
Walker has recently signed an
agreement with Hughes Europe for
a managed NOC to deploy new
services in Northern Iraq.
“We have
unrivalled experience as a
provider of broadband services
to the consumer market and we
understand what individual users
want,” said Chris O’Dell, vice
president, sales and marketing,
Hughes Europe. “We have no doubt
that the success achieved in
Libya with Bentley Walker will
act as a powerful springboard to
future expansion in the Middle
East.”
