Ten companies competed for the "Outsourcing of Satellite Networks" professional services award this year. The magazine's editors evaluated the companies in eight categories including market share, financial results, quality of service, customer care, innovation and creativity, among others. COMSAT Brasil received a 78.6 score out of a maximum of 80 points. The average score for this year's entrants was 54.3.

"We're pleased and honored to be recognized again with this prestigious award, and we're particularly proud of the quality of service and care that we provide to our customers," said Jose Lucio Natali, general manager of COMSAT Brasil. "As we expand our service offerings through our new Sao Paulo teleport, we look forward to continuing the tradition of being the best at satellite network design, maintenance and operation."

COMSAT Brasil recently inaugurated its first shared hub teleport, under a new telecommunications license awarded to the company in April, 1998.

The shared hub will provide VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) and Internet via satellite services to retailers, airlines, banks, petroleum distributors and many other businesses that need to link multiple sites with a central location. These businesses typically transmit data such as credit card authorizations and other financial transactions, as well as inventory control and routine company information.

"The new teleport allows COMSAT Brasil to improve its services by providing economical and efficient satellite communications to a broader customer base," Natali said. "We can also link to the U.S. Internet backbone by connecting to COMSAT's digital teleport in the Washington, D.C. area," he added.

COMSAT Brasil employs satellite and terrestrial technologies to serve more than 300 multinational and domestic corporations. The company operates its own metropolitan backbone telecommunications networks in Sao Paulo, the center of business operations in Brazil, and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's second largest city. COMSAT Brasil has approximately 240 employees with branches in 13 cities throughout the country including Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Campinas.

Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India
Calcutta, India (SPX) Dec 28, 2005
The successful launch Thursday of India's heaviest satellite from spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana may have boosted the country's space research efforts to yet another level, but it has also lifted the spirits of at least three Direct-To-Home televisions broadcasters, one of which has been waiting for years to launch its services in India.
