Network Capability to Europe
Dec. 4, 2020
EchoStar Mobile announced a
partnership with Jersey Telecom (JT) to bring
true, hybrid satellite/cellular capability to
Internet of Things (IoT) and Mobility customers
across Europe and the UK.
EchoStar Mobile is
combining its European S-band mobile satellite
network with the JT 4G platform to offer a
cellular roaming network for its new SYNERGY
service suite. EchoStar Mobile SYNERGY's
industry-first hybrid approach brings to market
a single terminal, single subscription, and a
single management interface for a networking
solution that uses both mobile satellite and
cellular connectivity. It offers comprehensive,
cost-effective hybrid connectivity to users
across Europe and the UK, ensuring that
applications, people, and things have the best
possible connectivity, whether at fixed
locations or on the move, from dense urban areas
to the most remote regions.
"As sectors, companies and
application developers continue to plan and
execute their digitalisation strategies, the
need for simple, highly reliable connectivity
has never been more important," said Telemaco
Melia, senior director commercial operations,
EchoStar Mobile. "This partnership with JT
allows us to enable the technology strategies of
our customers wherever they are, without the
need for complex technical deployments or the
hefty price tag often associated with mobile
satellite services and hybrid communication
solutions."
"The demand for ubiquitous
pan-European data that spans borders and
networks is unprecedented and continues to grow,
as enterprises look to optimise their IoT
deployments," said Barna Kutvolgyi, Managing
Director, JT International. "This partnership
combines the comprehensive capabilities of JT's
platform with EchoStar Mobile's leading
technologies, to reduce complexity and deliver
comprehensive coverage in a streamlined solution
for EchoStar Mobile's customers across Europe."
