PARIS, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
New generation of
performance-enhanced satellite-based VPN services immediately
available across entire KA-SAT coverage in Europe, the Middle
East and North Africa
Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) and OneAccess, the
leading manufacturer of multi-service routers and Carrier Ethernet
access devices, have joined forces to develop the first
performance-enhanced platform for businesses designed to deliver
services operated on Eutelsat's KA-SAT High Throughput Satellite in
a secure VPN environment. Set to launch in March 2013, and immediately available across
KA-SAT's entire footprint, the new service makes satellite
communications even more affordable for businesses by delivering
DSL-like service at DSL-like prices.
Since 2011, Eutelsat's KA-SAT has been steadily transforming the
market for satellite-based broadband services for consumers and
enterprises in Europe,
North Africa and the Middle East. To enhance and extend the scope
of enterprise services, OneAccess has worked in collaboration with
Eutelsat to develop a dedicated One1520 satellite router that
incorporates integrated traffic acceleration, IP routing and IP-VPN
secure transport to deliver 20Mbps download and 6Mbps upload. This
One1520 single embedded box solution dramatically decreases the
total cost of ownership for both users and operators. The resulting
new business services based on this innovative platform are ideal
for delivering Internet access to businesses with dispersed
networks of offices where maintaining a high-speed, secure,
inter-branch communications network is critical. The most advanced
uses of ultrafast broadband private networks are now possible,
enabling new possibilities, in particular fast implementation of
integrated backup or traffic offload solutions in highly secure
environments.
Speaking about the partnership, Jean-François Fenech, General
Manager of Eutelsat's Broadband Business Unit, said,
"Through our cutting edge KA-SAT technology, we have
demonstrated our ability to provide broadband access to businesses
with unmatched quality and capacity across the extended service
area of our KA-SAT multibeam satellite. The partnership between
Eutelsat and OneAccess takes our professional services to the next
level, enabling us to deliver a truly next-generation VPN solution
for enterprises using our KA-SAT satellite technology combined with
OneAccess innovative router technology."
Bertrand Meis, CEO at OneAccess
added, "This partnership is unique and a major development for the
communications services sector. Our custom-engineered dual-core
routers, incorporating specialized WAN optimisation and
standards-based security software, enable reduced latency and
dynamic traffic optimization. The One1520 is a fully integrated
solution that delivers accessibility, transparency and performance.
When combined with the power of KA-SAT, the result is a one-box
solution for business and a high quality secure service which is a
genuine fully-fledged complement to any business DSL service in
operation today."
