"InterPacket has created an Internet protocol backbone for other, smaller Internet service providers over multiple PanAmSat satellites, which offer high-speed, bandwidth-intensive delivery of Internet data over vast geographic areas," said John Gwynn, PanAmSat's vice president, telecom services. "With this announcement, PanAmSat satellites are now providing access to Internet information in more than 40 countries on five continents."

InterPacket Group uses the equivalent of more than one 36 Megahertz C-band transponder across PanAmSat's PAS-2 Pacific Ocean Region, PAS-3 Atlantic Ocean Region and PAS-4 Indian Ocean Region satellites. The company operates circuits for ISPs in Greece, Lebanon, Portugal, Hong Kong and countries throughout Africa.

PanAmSat has offered international Internet services since the early 1990s and now enables corporations, Internet service providers and backbone providers to access Internet data over its 18-satellite global network. As part of PanAmSat's SPOTbytes(tm) lines of Internet services, customers can also access the U.S. Internet backbone from one of PanAmSat's U.S. teleports.

InterPacket Group Inc. is a leading provider of international high speed Internet services and carrier grade telephony services. The company makes use of satellite, compression, switching and packet technologies to provide commercial Internet access virtually anywhere in the world.

InterPacket Group currently provides high speed Internet links via satellite to commercial customers in more than 25 countries covering five continents with speeds up to 45 Megabits per second (Mbps). The company uses multiple 45 Mbps connections in New York and Los Angeles to the U.S. Internet backbone and transmits via its gateway earth stations to the rest of the world.
