Comtech
EF Data
Corp., has
installed a
Heights
Network
Platform for
SES
Networks’
hybrid
resilience
solution.
SES Networks will
use its Network
Platform to deliver
high-availability
services to its
premium customers in
Asia-Pacific. The
fully-managed
solution leverages
the wide coverage of
Geostationary Earth
Orbit satellites and
low latency
capabilities of
Medium Earth Orbit
satellites to
provide diverse
network paths that
are vital in the
delivery of
carrier-class
services. When
operational, this
resilient solution
will enable the use
of the best choice
path for traffic,
whether an
alternative path for
all of the traffic,
or for traffic of
the highest
value. SES Networks
is the newly-formed
data-centric
business unit of
SES, the
world-leading
satellite operator.
Designed with the
service provider in
mind, Heights is a
scalable satellite
networking platform
that meets the
evolving demands of
a diverse
multi-tenant end
user community. It
addresses the needs
of all major market
verticals with the
most network
efficient and
powerful platform in
the industry.
Heights leverages a
single comprehensive
user interface
teamed with a
powerful traffic
analytics engine
that allows easy
design,
implementation,
monitoring, control
and optimization of
networks.
Different market
verticals benefit
from implementing
Heights by resolving
many of the service
challenges they
face. There is the
need to create
service
differentiation
through supporting
multiple business
models on one
platform to increase
market share.
Comtech EF Data’s
approach is to
minimize OPEX
through increased
bandwidth efficiency
to create new
revenue streams,
offer better value
to customers, and
control CAPEX
through a scalable
equipment platform
to maximize profits.
The company’s
solutions meet the
increased market
demand for higher
throughput
capabilities,
support increasingly
complex satellite
networks, and
dynamically provide
global connectivity
where and when
customers need it.
"We are happy to
enable SES Networks
to provide
differentiated
services via
purpose-built
satellite networking
solutions that
provide the Quality
of Experience
required across a
number of demanding
application mixes,"
said Andy Lucas,
Senior Vice
President of
Satellite Market
Verticals of Comtech
EF Data. Lucas
further added, “We
look forward to
helping SES Networks
scale its end users'
networks securely
and grow its
businesses over the
coming years.”
