Spacenet Extends
Commercial Grade Broadband And Digital Phone Services To Alaska & Hawaii
Via Satellite
(17 March 2008) Spacenet Inc., a
leading provider of advanced satellite networking services, today announced the
introduction of its commercial grade Connexstar broadband and digital voice
services to Alaska and Hawaii. Spacenet's Connexstar service, which offers
high-speed two-way satellite communications, has powered networks for
enterprise and government clients across the continental US since
2001.
Starting in April 2008, Connexstar will be available in
all 50 states including in US territories and the Caribbean.
Connexstar
high-performance satellite services are designed specifically to meet the
converged voice, video, and data communications requirements of business and
government clients. This includes providing a higher standard of service than
comparable pre-packaged satellite offerings including enterprise grade features
and service level guarantees. Connexstar also offers the option for a
carrier-class digital phone service complete with direct connection to the
public switched telephone network, local area codes and a variety of
competitively priced calling plans.
In direct response to growing
customer and reseller demand for business-class satellite communications in
Alaska and Hawaii, Spacenet is extending its commercial grade services to these
markets. Available for primary or backup communications and offered in both
fixed and transportable packages, Spacenet's Connexstar service is ideal for
banking and retail, hotels and lodges, healthcare facilities, small businesses
and state and local government agencies.
Spacenet is hosting a free
educational seminar in Anchorage, Alaska on April 2 - 3, 2008, for prospective
customers, as well as qualified organisations interested in selling the new
services. The event will provide educational information on satellite
networking and hands-on demonstrations.
Spacenet Senior Vice President
of Marketing and Corporate Development David Myers said, "Businesses and
government organisations depend on reliable communications to keep their
operations running, especially when located in distant or remote locations. By
extending Connexstar to Alaska and Hawaii we are offering customers in these
markets a new high-performance alternative for reliable broadband services via
satellite. Whether for telephone service, secure banking transactions, or even
real time video conferencing, customers in Alaska and Hawaii can now depend on
Spacenet's 26 years of experience to ensure high performance networking
virtually anywhere in the US."
