CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat
Inc. (Nasdaq: VSAT), a global communications company, today
announced it signed Intelisys, Inc., a ScanSource company
and the nation's leading Technology Services Distributor, as its
latest Master Agent partner offering Viasat's business
internet services. This new partnership significantly increases
Viasat's presence in the business and enterprise channel, giving
Viasat access to over 3,000 Intelisys agents nationwide. The
agreement with Intelisys comes on the heels of the ViaSat-2 service
launch for business internet users.
"We're proud to bring Viasat into the Intelisys portfolio, which
contains more than 160 of the world's leading service providers,"
said Jay Bradley, president of
Intelisys. "By selling Viasat's business internet services,
Intelisys agents will be able to reach more business customers in
more places with faster broadband speeds."
Specifically as a Viasat Master Agent, the Intelisys network
will be able to offer Viasat high-speed satellite
internet as an option to their enterprise and business customers
across the U.S., filling broadband coverage gaps where business
customers want assured, reliable, high-speed broadband
communications. Additionally, with Viasat satellite
internet service, Intelisys business customers gain access to a
diverse, resilient secondary connection for business continuity and
SD-WAN implementations. Installation of service typically takes
place within three to five days of ordering, giving business
customers the ability to quickly deploy and
use Viasat's fast, reliable connectivity service.
"Businesses are looking for higher speed bandwidth options in
both rural and urban areas—whether that's for a primary or back-up
connectivity option," said Cody Catalena, vice president and
general manager, Global Business Solutions, Viasat.
"We're proud to sign Intelisys on as our latest Master Agent,
giving their network an ability to sell primary broadband services
to their customers whenever cable or fiber is out of reach.
Further, as we see business applications continue to move to the
cloud, our Viasat service provides a great back-up internet
connection—giving businesses a truly diverse internet connection to
run applications like voice and video, transaction processing and
more."
The Viasat service gives business customers more available
options to support their sales and businesses operations. Viasat
currently offers a variety of unlimited and metered data plans with
download speed options ranging from 35 Megabits per second (Mbps)
across most of the U.S. up to 100 Mbps in select areas.
