Speedcast Delivers Satellite Backhaul for Major US Mobile Carrier

Speedcast International (ASX:SDA) on Tuesday announced that the company’s recent acquisition Globecomm has completed the development of a nationwide satellite backhaul network for a “Big Four” US mobile carrier.

As quoted in the press release:

The network supports the carrier’s services in low-density markets and provides backup protection to primary terrestrial backhaul circuits in the event of cable cuts or a natural disaster.

Network design, engineering and installation took place as the first phase of a managed services agreement, which also included maintenance, network operations, satellite capacity and integration into the carrier’s backbone.

“We are proud to support this customer with the build out of this network and see tremendous growth opportunities through partnerships with mobile carriers around the globe to extend connectivity services, both in developed and developing markets. Speedcast uniquely understands the mobile carrier ecosystem thanks to our years providing systems integration, network deployment and hosted switching services to rural carriers,” said Erwan Emilian, EVP, Enterprise & Emerging Markets at Speedcast.

Speedcast’s fully-managed service is delivered via a leading global, multi-access technology, multi-band and multi-orbit network of 70+ satellites and an interconnecting global terrestrial network, bolstered by extensive on-the-ground local support from 40+ countries.
