Global Teleports launches VipNet Event

The service, which will be available to both businesses and residential users, will be more cost effective for people who need a superfast service for occasional use

Global Teleports has announced the launch of VipNet Event, a new occasional use superfast broadband service, exclusively using SES capacity and resources, and using the Newtec Dialog multiservice platform.

The service, which will be available to both businesses and residential users, will be more cost effective for people who need a superfast service for occasional use, such as for events, live broadcasts or an industry-specific solution.

Campsites or holiday cottages which have very seasonal businesses will be able to ramp up capacity for a short period to satisfy demand. One off event organisers will be able to hire equipment and have high speed broadband connections on-demand without being tied into long term contracts.

“We are witnessing a growing requirement from clients looking for short term services in all sectors,” commented Roger Boddy, CEO, Global Teleports. “We are proud to be launching this unique and timely offering, which has been made possible thanks to an agreement with satellite provider, SES, and equipment manufacturer, Newtec.”

“We are pleased that Global Teleports has selected our Newtec Dialog platform for this unique occasional use deployment,” said Kevin McCarthy, Newtec’s VP of Market Development. “Our multiservice platform including Mx-DMA dynamic bandwidth allocation is ideally suited to deliver high-speed broadband access across the globe, in the most scalable, flexible, and efficient way.”

“Global Teleports’ solution is a cost-effective way to deliver reliable broadband services for a short period of time,” commented Richard Lamb, General Manager, Occasional Use at SES. “Through our worldwide fleet of satellites that cover almost the entire globe, we are enabling Global Teleports to deliver its service to people anytime, anywhere.”

This new service is available immediately worldwide.
