Teleglobe International has announced plans to launch a new Internet Digital Video Broadcast/Internet Protocol (DVB/IP) satellite platform covering the African continent to accommodate Internet traffic growth.
Teleglobe is a world leader in implementing DVB/IP satellite services since 1999, with a footprint covering over 190 countries. Teleglobe’s new DVB/IP platform provides carriers and ISPs fast, reliable, cost-effective, scaleable Internet connectivity in Africa.
The DVB/IP technology enables the transport of multiple IP streams through a single carrier using the MPEG2 encoding.
Teleglobe DVB/IP Service uses state-of-the-art technology to deliver IP traffic from its global IP backbone network to a low-cost, receive-only antenna located at the customer’s premise, and is supported by a 24-hour manned network control centre.
“As demand for our Internet access services continues to rapidly increase, it is important that we can rely on a Tier 1 ISP, like Teleglobe, to provide global Internet reach to our customers as well as quick responses as we grow,” said Jonathan Somen, Managing Director of AccessKenya.
“Teleglobe’s fast, reliable Internet connectivity solidly satisfies our customers and thus helps us maintain leadership in Kenya’s highly competitive Internet marketplace.”
“Due to our customers’ growing demand for Teleglobe’s Internet service in Africa, we have expanded our capacity to meet their IP connectivity needs,” said Christian Michaud, Vice President of Marketing at Teleglobe.
“Teleglobe’s reliable, high-performance DVB/IP service enables our customers to scale along with their growing businesses.”
