EMC
Readies
Customers
for
High-Throughput
Satellite
Capacity
and
Services
with
SpeedNet
March

EMC
announces
the
majority
of
its
remote
communications
and
content
customers
around
the
world
are
ready
to
fill
the
high-throughput
satellite
(HTS)
capacity
coming
to
market
this
year.
"Our
customers
are
leading
the
explosive
requirements
for
high
speed
Internet
and
on-demand
content,
in
addition
to
their
growing
need
for
mission-critical
communications,
in
the
world's
most
remote
locations,"
said
Abel
Avellan,
CEO
and
founder,
EMC. "So
we
recognized
the
need
for
HTS
five
years
ago
and
drove
the
design
of,
and
investment
into,
HTS
with
our
satellite
partners. While
we
have
led
this
revolution,
our
customers
are
now
thinking
beyond
just
the
mission-critical
reliability
and
additional
bandwidth
HTS
will
offer. They
expect
a
quality
of
experience
(QOE)
equivalent
to
what
they
get
at
home
and
in
the
office. That
is
why
we
are
offering
HTS
and
beyond."
Investment
in
Patented
Solutions
Since
EMC
acquired
MTN
in
July
2015,
the
company
has
invested
in
designing
additional
proprietary
technologies
to
add
to
its
20
patents.
The
company's
goal
has
been
to
deliver
a
much
higher
level
QOE.
The
newest
patented
technology
to
heighten
customers'
QOE
is
SpeedNet,
a
breakthrough
solution
to
the
satellite
industry's
oldest
problem
--
latency.
Using
a
proprietary
intelligent
protocol
and
global
backbone,
SpeedNet
predictively
fetches,
compresses
and
pushes
multiple
layers
of
websites
at
once
to
local
servers.
The
net
result
for
the
end-user
is a
browsing
experience
that
mimics
high-speed
fiber.
"We
have
set
the
bar
for
delivering
the
fastest
Web
browsing
experience
possible
over
satellite
even
before
HTS
is
widely
available,"
Avellan
said.
"This
is
another
pioneering
example
of
how
customers
can
have
a
significantly
better
QOE
in
the
world's
most
remote
locations."
EMC
continues
to
enable
other
industry
firsts,
such
as
the
only
fully
integrated
communications
and
content
service
at
sea,
in
the
air
and
on
land.
The
company
provides
mission-critical
communications
and
content
for
people
and
businesses
on
the
move,
or
in
hard
to
reach
places,
in
eight
markets
--
energy,
yachting,
commercial
shipping,
mobile
network
operations,
government/non-government
operations,
global
enterprises,
aviation,
and
cruise
and
ferries.
"No
other
provider
has
brought
together
high-speed
Internet,
live
TV,
streaming,
on-demand
video,
for
remote
users,"
Avellan
said.
"This
empowers
us
to
offer
customers
a
seamless
branded
journey
for
their
passengers
and
employees
akin
to
their
QOE
in
their
homes
and
offices.
Our
customers
are
excited
about
how
HTS
will
supplement
their
experience
and
so
are
we."
