Gilat Satellite Networks announced Tuesday that its U.S. subsidiary, Spacenet, has expanded its services portfolio to include worldwide broadband communications services to multinational corporations.
By leveraging the footprint of an alliance of local service providers around the world, Spacenet is able to offer multinational customers a consistent and seamless service portfolio and a single global point of contact.
Spacenet is establishing a series of alliances with leading regional service operators that will enable the management and integration of networks across the world and the delivery of uniform, high-quality connectivity.
Spacenet President and CEO Bill Gerety said, “Our decades of experience enable Spacenet Global Services to offer multinationals one-stop shopping for broadband services.
“This provides multinationals with the benefits of platform consistency, consistent service levels, and a global network-management center to monitor all operations. These features can allow our customers to reduce costs, better manage complexity and increase productivity.”
Gerety added, “Spacenet is responding to the strong demand we see from our customers for a single service provider who can offer consistent infrastructures across the globe.
“Through our Global Services offering, we are meeting the growing worldwide connectivity requirements among multinational customers in the restaurant/ hospitality, retail, banking and insurance industries, as well as government agencies.”
The Spacenet Global Services program will initially target the U.S.-based multinationals that Spacenet serves today, although Spacenet plans to expand the service offering soon to multinationals based in other regions throughout the world.
Spacenet’s alliance partners will be able to reciprocally leverage a new services infrastructure to offer standardized single-source, high-speed connectivity in expanded geographic regions as well.
Applications to be made available on Spacenet Global Services networks include Internet/intranet access, high-speed multicast content distribution, point of sale transaction authorization, terrestrial services, backup/failover connectivity, and interactive distance learning.
