G2 Satellite Solutions To Launch IP Networking Service On NSS-7 Satellite
The Hague, Netherlands (SPX) Dec 08, 2004 New Skies Satellites announced Tuesday that G2 Satellite Solutions, a subsidiary of PanAmSat, has selected the NSS-7 satellite to launch a new, fully managed IP-networking service in the African and Middle East regions for government and military customers. The service is designed to support ongoing humanitarian, diplomatic and military efforts throughout the region through rapidly deployable, easily scaleable and highly secure IP-based enterprise networks. The service employs a 9.3-meter antenna accessing NSS-7 from G2's government teleport in Silver Spring, Maryland, and broadband networking technology from iDirect Technologies, a leading provider of satellite-based broadband access solutions. Stephen Wilson, vice president of North American sales for New Skies Satellites, said: "We have a strong and growing relationship with G2 Satellite Solutions because we share a common goal of providing the best communications services to government customers using the most advanced, reliable and secure technology. Together, we currently are collaborating on projects that take advantage of our NSS-6, NSS-703, NSS-5 and NSS-7 satellites." Kay Sears, senior vice president of sales and marketing for G2 Satellite Solutions, said: "We work with all the major satellite operators to provide the highest quality services to government users, and we base our decisions on which satellites to employ by matching our customers' requirements to the best satellite in the region." "We were drawn to New Skies' NSS-7 satellite because of its comprehensive and high-powered coverage over Africa and the Middle East, as well as the excellent customer service we consistently experience when collaborating with New Skies." "This recent agreement will result in fully managed, high-speed private satellite networks for government customers operating throughout Africa and the Middle East, with a strong emphasis on security, reliability, flexibility and rapid deployment."
