June 14, 2017 -- Comtech Telecommunications Corp.’s Tempe,
Arizona-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., which is part of
Comtech’s Commercial Solutions segment, announced today that it has
installed a Heights Network Platform for SES Networks’ hybrid
resilience solution.
SES Networks will use the Heights Network Platform to deliver
high-availability services to its premium customers in
Asia-Pacific. The fully-managed solution leverages the wide
coverage of Geostationary Earth Orbit satellites and low latency
capabilities of Medium Earth Orbit satellites to provide diverse
network paths that are vital in the delivery of carrier-class
services. When operational, this resilient solution will enable the
use of the best choice path for traffic, whether an alternative
path for all of the traffic, or for traffic of the highest
value. SES Networks is the newly-formed data-centric business
unit of SES, the world-leading satellite operator.
Designed with the service provider in mind, Heights is a
scalable satellite networking platform that meets the evolving
demands of a diverse multi-tenant end user community. It addresses
the needs of all major market verticals with the most network
efficient and powerful platform in the industry. Heights leverages
a single comprehensive user interface teamed with a powerful
traffic analytics engine that allows easy design, implementation,
monitoring, control and optimization of networks.
Different market verticals benefit from implementing Heights by
resolving many of the service challenges they face. There is the
need to create service differentiation through supporting multiple
business models on one platform to increase market share. Comtech
EF Data’s approach is to minimize OPEX through increased bandwidth
efficiency to create new revenue streams, offer better value to
customers, and control CAPEX through a scalable equipment platform
to maximize profits. The company’s solutions meet the increased
market demand for higher throughput capabilities, support
increasingly complex satellite networks, and dynamically provide
global connectivity where and when customers need it.
"We are happy to enable SES Networks to provide differentiated
services via purpose-built satellite networking solutions that
provide the Quality of Experience required across a number of
demanding application mixes," said Andy Lucas, Senior Vice
President of Satellite Market Verticals of Comtech EF Data. Lucas
further added, “We look forward to helping SES Networks scale its
end users' networks securely and grow its businesses over the
coming years.”
