CapRock Announces
Turnkey VSAT Services for Customers Operating in Libya
(19 June 2007) CapRock Communications
today announced that it has formed a strategic alliance with Phoenicia Group
Libya LLC to provide turnkey satellite services to customers with onshore and
offshore energy, maritime and construction operations in
Libya.
The agreement represents a significant milestone in
CapRock's ability to provide customers with reliable communications as they
develop and expand their presence in the African region.
Under the
agreement, CapRock will provide a total managed satellite solution including
VSAT equipment and installation, service, on-site support and 24/7 network
monitoring and provisioning. With this solution, customers will have the option
to land their traffic inside or outside of Libya through CapRock.
"By
partnering with CapRock, companies will receive enhanced VSAT services and
state-of-the-art support through CapRock's dual Network Operations Centers,"
said Phoenicia Group President and CEO and founder of the Libyan American
Business Council, Ryad Sunusi.
The alliance with Phoenicia Group, the
leading U.S.-Libyan business and consultancy firm, is through its IT
subsidiary, Al-Waha IT & Telecommunications. Phoenicia Group is the sole
licensed private satellite and telecommunications provider in Libya, and
through this alliance, CapRock will be able to provide global VSAT solutions to
its customers.
"As our customers grow and expand their international
operations, CapRock will continue to meet them where they are with
communications that they can count on," said CapRock CEO Peter Shaper. "This
alliance enables us to provide our global customers who have local operations
in Libya with the same reliable satellite communications services they've come
to expect elsewhere."
Customers will now have the opportunity to work
with CapRock and have access to its global network infrastructure that includes
four self-owned and operated teleports and 10 regional support
centres.
As a final note, Shaper commented, "Our new alliance in Libya
is another cornerstone in CapRock's global expansion. We look forward to
serving customers' communications needs in Libya and across the
world."
