HONOLOLU : Intelsat has announced the signing of an agreement with REACH to lease teleport services from the company's Stanley Teleport in Hong Kong. The signing of this agreement represents the completion of Intelsat's assembly of its global terrestrial infrastructure that is used in offering GlobalConnexSM Solutions, its portfolio of end-to-end, integrated network services.
Intelsat customers will be able to use the teleport facilities in Hong Kong for uplinking, downlinking and DVB platforms, in addition to Internet and private line services. The teleport's location in Hong Kong gives it visibility of Intelsat satellites in both the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, thereby serving a large number of customers worldwide.
Some of Intelsat's GlobalConnexSM customers, including the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Mongolia, currently use REACH's Stanley Teleport as one component of their end-to-end communications solutions. CAA, one of Intelsat's Internet Trunking customers, is using the Stanley Teleport in combination with the Intelsat 601 satellite.
In addition to Hong Kong, Intelsat's end-to-end network infrastructure now includes teleports in California, Maryland and Germany as well as fiber interconnected Points of Presence in Los Angeles, New York, Frankfurt and London.
