Revolutionizing Fixed and Wireless Broadband
As bandwidth requirements skyrocket, the limits of current FSS network design for backhaul of 3G/4G networks are being tested. Altered multimedia mixes are creating challenging connectivity designs. All while the economics of supporting equipment and customers in remote areas become less attractive.
For broadband networks, Intelsat EpicNG enables higher data rate applications and smaller terminals, providing expanded market opportunities that can be served by satellite. Plus, with Intelsat EpicNG, customers have flexibility in their network solutions to utilize a combination of C-, Ku-, and Ka-bands.
For cellular backhaul, Intelsat EpicNG provides the high throughputs required to support 3G/4G backhaul bandwidth requirements, features dynamic bandwidth allocation for asymmetric multimedia requirements, and allows load sharing of links during network congestion. This efficient platform overcomes lower revenue per site barriers in remote areas and enables satellite as a primary or backup solution for backbone links in populated areas.
While our current fleet continues to serve the large existing installed base and provide primary solutions in remote areas, the Intelsat EpicNG platform can:
- Be leveraged in densely populated areas that demand more bandwidth
- Provide a very low-cost solution that can push a mobile network’s edge further into rural areas
- Deliver the bandwidth needed to backup high-speed core and backbone links.
- Offer economical backup to fiber and microwave links towards the edge of a network
