New Broadband Offering to Support In-Country Network
Applications across Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South
Asia
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first
Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite
communications, and UHP Networks today announced a new service
powered by Intelsat EpicNG. UHP Networks is introducing RUN, a FaaS
broadband data solution optimized to take advantage of the maximum
efficiency provided by the award-winning Intelsat EpicNG
high-throughput fleet.
RUN is an in-country VSAT service with a cloud-based network
management system. Working together, UHP and Intelsat are uniquely
positioned to deliver this high-efficiency solution to enterprises,
telcos and government users that require a flexible,
high-performance infrastructure. RUN uses UHP’s low-capex,
universal routers to provide an easy-to-operate platform that
initially will be available in Africa, the Middle East, and Central
and South Asia.
“RUN is designed to lower the barrier of entry for deploying
high-throughput, in-county VSAT services,” said Vagan Shakhgildian,
President and CEO of UHP Networks. “Combining Intelsat EpicNG’s
improved performance with UHP’s unique, software-definable VSAT
platform addresses the initial cost for private network hardware
and makes the service easier to manage. This enables service
providers to cost-effectively deploy solutions to support both
existing and emerging applications.”
“By powering the UHP RUN service, customers will be able to
leverage the Intelsat EpicNG platform and local infrastructure to
enable more traffic to cost-effectively originate and land
in-country,” said Jean-Philippe Gillet, Vice President and General
Manager of Broadband for Intelsat. “This is another way in which
Intelsat’s innovations are unlocking new and larger applications
for our customers. Given our capabilities, we are uniquely
positioned to deliver solutions that create value for our customers
and deliver connectivity to areas that previously did not have
access to broadband services.”
