Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:TLGB), Hamilton,
Bermuda, a leading provider of international telecommunications services
to Internet service providers, fixed and mobile network operators, 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
