Teleglobe Launches New DVB/IP Platform to Accommodate Internet Growth in Africa24 March 2005
Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:TLGB), a leading provider of international telecommunications services to Internet service providers, fixed and mobile network operators, today announced that the company has launched 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."
Teleglobe's global network supports a wide variety of advanced data and IP services including global IP transit, international private leased circuits (IPLs), bandwidth and broadcast services. Teleglobe has ownership in over 100 subsea and terrestrial cable systems and has 40 antennas serving the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Teleglobe is a global Tier 1 Internet service provider (ISP) and operates the IP backbone AS 6453 which circles the globe. Our MPLS-enabled IP network connects more than 90 countries to the Internet and is also supporting IPv6, the new generation IP protocol.
