[Via Satellite 09-30-13] Eutelsat Communications and Satellite Broadband Service Network Montenegro (SBS Net) have completed an ultra-fast, secure satellite network connecting Montenegro’s police headquarters with the country’s six border control stations. The implementation is the first live VPN to use OneAccess’ satellite router, which delivers high speed, enterprise-class VPN services via Eutelsat’s next-generation Ka-Sat satellite.

The new network delivers transmission speeds of up to 20Mbps download and 6Mbps upload and will enable the Police of Montenegro to benefit from the most advanced uses of an ultra-fast broadband VPN, including the rapid implementation of integrated backup and traffic offload solutions in highly secure environments.

“The ability to exchange information quickly and securely between Montenegro’s Police HQ and its six border control stations will enhance its operations considerably,” said Ljiljana Vukovic, manager of SBS Net. “This project provides the Police of Montenegro the means to control the country’s borders via a highly secure network. The results of extensive testing demonstrated that the OneAccess solution significantly improved the network’s user experience and bandwidth capability, while maintaining an absolutely secure environment. We are confident that the benefits of this one-box solution will be recognized by other business clients.”
