Delivering More Connectivity in More Ways
Extend Remote and Rural Coverage
Economically extend services to users, regardless of how far they are from the network core or how challenging the terrain is. No need to build out fiber lines or deploy microwave.
Overcome the Challenges of Ubiquitous Coverage
Short-term Cellular Coverage
Intelsat CellBackhaul allows you to turn on temporary connectivity whenever and wherever it’s needed: for concerts and events, travel hot spots, seasonal destinations, and more. If there’s a road, there’s a way. Intelsat can provide connectivity to mobile cell towers—delivering high-performance connectivity anywhere you can tow a trailer.
Deliver Seasonal Cellular Connectivity
Disaster Response
Intelsat provides global, high-throughput connectivity that benefits people and organizations every day. But what about unforeseen events like natural disasters or humanitarian crises? When terrestrial communications infrastructure weakens or fails completely, quick-to-deploy satellite solutions serve as a lifeline for emergency service providers and those in need.
How We Helped During Hurricane Ian
A Leading Japanese MNO
One of the country’s leading mobile network operators (MNO) sought to extend the same fast, reliable connectivity that served customers in urban centers to their customers in rural areas. Intelsat created a solution using CellBackhaul, its fully managed, end-to-end service that extends the MNO’s reach.
Vodacom DRC
Vodacom brought together available transport networks and hybrid power solutions to enhance and upgrade rural communication services. Intelsat’s Ku-band capacity and managed CellBackhaul enable Vodacom to extend mobile connectivity to areas where fiber or microwave backhaul networks are not yet available, or unfeasible to deploy.
Telefónica Germany
With the goal of connecting every subscriber with reliable, high-speed connectivity, Telefónica Germany needed an alternative to microwave and fiber. The solution had to be cost-effective and easy to deploy, no matter how challenging the terrain.
Telstra and Spark
When the undersea volcano, Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai, erupted in 2022, the explosion and subsequent tsunami knocked out undersea internet cables, disconnecting the region of 100,000 residents. Intelsat provided space-based broadband connectivity, while partners Telstra and Spark provided the ground infrastructure.
