Loral CyberStar, a global provider of high-quality data, video, content, and Internet services, today announced that it has signed an agreement with the China Telecommunications Broadcast Satellite Corporation (ChinaSat), the state-owned enterprise that provides satellite telecommunications broadcast services throughout China.
ChinaSat will offer CyberStar’s entire range of services including the ClearStream broadband services. Loral CyberStar is a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications.
“Through our partnership with ChinaSat, CyberStar now has immediate ability to sell its unique IP-based Internet services to customers throughout the Chinese market,” said Neil Bauer, president, CyberStar.
“We are very pleased to initiate this relationship with ChinaSat and look forward to addressing a sophisticated Chinese market that demands high-quality desktop solutions.”
Dedicated to providing advanced, reliable, excellent, and fast telecommunications services throughout China, ChinaSat will market CyberStar products to government agencies, national corporations and multinational enterprises.
ChinaSat will also become CyberStar’s in-country ground services agent, working to secure necessary licensing authorizations, conducting site surveys, procuring satellite capacity, and installing and testing customer site equipment.
“We entered into this agreement with CyberStar because of its reputation for quality satellite and fiber-based services and its proven track record of success in the international marketplace,” said Zhou Zehe, president, ChinaSat.
“CyberStar’s expertise will ensure that we can build the best possible satellite and fiber infrastructure for our customers. CyberStar’s ability to broadcast high-quality data, video and audio will ensure that our customers receive the first-rate broadband transmissions that their businesses demand, from training needs to corporate communications to content distribution.”
With CyberStar’s services, ChinaSat has the ability to offer enterprises a private, satellite-based network that can bypass most of the terrestrial Internet to avoid congestion and deliver broadband applications to multiple, geographically dispersed sites regardless of the existing infrastructure.
ChinaSat also will offer its customers CyberStar’s ClearStream product suite, allowing organizations operating across China’s vast geographical regions to provide standardized and comprehensive corporate communications and training services.
ClearStream Live, CyberStar’s flagship streaming media application, uses open standards digital video broadcast (DVB) technology, a standard Web browser and the Windows Media Player, to deliver high-quality video and CD-quality audio communications live to the desktop or conference room monitor. By multicasting 300 Kbps video streams onto the local area network (LAN), ClearStream Live offers a bandwidth-efficient method of viewing live video at multiple sites without unpredictable performance due to Internet congestion.
