Spacenet Raises the Standard for Satellite Networking with a New Line of High-Performance Connexstar(TM) Services for Converged Voice, Video and Data Applications

Spacenet Inc. today announced the launch of the latest generation of its Connexstar line of satellite networking services for business, industrial and government customers. The new Connexstar packages deliver the highest performance of any high-scalability VSAT network standard service available in North America, with up to 50% more bandwidth than comparable services as well as providing the first Minimum Assured Speed from an off-the-shelf satellite networking service.

The new Connexstar services are offered in three series: Connexstar Transaction, Connexstar Broadband, and Connexstar Performance. Each is optimized to support different application environments, ranging from transaction-based remote monitoring to fully converged voice, video and data solutions. The new generation of Connexstar delivers leased line-quality communications and exceptional performance utilizing the latest in VSAT satellite technology.

Connexstar Transaction Series provides a highly reliable always-on narrowband satellite link optimized to support high-frequency transaction based traffic from retail point-of-sale applications, SCADA or remote monitoring devices and more. Connexstar Broadband Series offers a commercial grade high-speed satellite service, at speeds up to 2 Mbps, optimized for corporate data, web based applications, and general broadband data usage. Connexstar Performance Series sets a new standard in pre-packaged satellite services offering the highest speeds in the industry at up to 3 Mbps and a network optimized exclusively for converged communication environments, simultaneously supporting toll quality digital voice, two-way video conferencing, as well as broadband data and web applications.

Drawing upon Spacenets 25 years of experience providing mission-critical enterprise networks, the new line of Connexstar VSAT services has been optimized to deliver a premium level of performance compared to other satellite network services currently on the market. This means faster speeds of up to 3 Mbps, higher multi-gigabit per month throughput allowances, and less network contention than other services. Spacenet backs its network performance promises with some of the best Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in the business.

Connexstar services are available in fixed or transportable configurations, and can be used with the advanced SkyEdge VSAT terminal platform or the Cisco IP VSAT Satellite WAN Network Module. Connexstar services include SLAs for reliability and performance, as well as 24 x 7 customer support, professional-grade installation and maintenance options.

Spacenet Senior Vice President of Marketing & Corporate Development David Myers said, At Spacenet our focus is to be the high performance choice for customers requiring pre-packaged satellite communications solutions in demanding environments. With the new Connexstar series, we are not just providing one of the fastest available satellite packages in the market, we have engineered our networks like no other in the industry. Each Connexstar series has been carefully optimized to maximize the performance of common applications. Unlike many competing off the shelf satellite networks that are designed primarily as a consumer-grade Internet access service, with Connexstar there are absolutely no residential consumer customers on the network. This provides business, industrial, and government clients with a true commercial-grade solution and the sense of security that comes from a business-only network. Myers continued, When performance matters, such as for emergency response teams in a disaster area, or for a bank or hospital backing up critical voice and data communications when terrestrial lines are down, the new Connexstar Performance Series offers a superior level of service and peace of mind for the customer, in a pre-packaged satellite service.
