Eutelsat and OneAccess Launch Innovative Technology for Advanced Enterprise Services on KA-SAT Satellite

Paris (ots/PRNewswire) -

New generation of performance-enhanced satellite-based VPN
services immediately available across entire KA-SAT coverage in
Europe, the Middle East and North

Africa

Eutelsat Communications and OneAccess, the leading manufacturer
of multi-service routers and Carrier Ethernet access devices, have
joined forces to develop the first performance-enhanced platform for
businesses designed to deliver services operated on Eutelsat's KA-SAT
High Throughput Satellite in a secure VPN environment. Set to launch
in March 2013, and immediately available across KA-SAT's entire
footprint, the new service makes satellite communications even more
affordable for businesses by delivering DSL-like service at DSL-like
prices.

Since 2011, Eutelsat's KA-SAT has been steadily transforming the
market for satellite-based broadband services for consumers and
enterprises in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. To enhance
and extend the scope of enterprise services, OneAccess has worked in
collaboration with Eutelsat to develop a dedicated One1520 satellite
router that incorporates integrated traffic acceleration, IP routing
and IP-VPN secure transport to deliver 20Mbps download and 6Mbps
upload. This One1520 single embedded box solution dramatically
decreases the total cost of ownership for both users and operators.
The resulting new business services based on this innovative platform
are ideal for delivering Internet access to businesses with dispersed
networks of offices where maintaining a high-speed, secure,
inter-branch communications network is critical. The most advanced
uses of ultrafast broadband private networks are now possible,
enabling new possibilities, in particular fast implementation of
integrated backup or traffic offload solutions in highly secure
environments.

Speaking about the partnership, Jean-Francois Fenech, General
Manager of Eutelsat's Broadband Business Unit, said, "Through our
cutting edge KA-SAT technology, we have demonstrated our ability to
provide broadband access to businesses with unmatched quality and
capacity across the extended service area of our KA-SAT multibeam
satellite. The partnership between Eutelsat and OneAccess takes our
professional services to the next level, enabling us to deliver a
truly next-generation VPN solution for enterprises using our KA-SAT
satellite technology combined with OneAccess innovative router
technology."

Bertrand Meis, CEO at OneAccess added, "This partnership is unique
and a major development for the communications services sector. Our
custom-engineered dual-core routers, incorporating specialized WAN
optimisation and standards-based security software, enable reduced
latency and dynamic traffic optimization. The One1520 is a fully
integrated solution that delivers accessibility, transparency and
performance. When combined with the power of KA-SAT, the result is a
one-box solution for business and a high quality secure service which
is a genuine full-fledged complement to any business DSL service in
operation today."
