[Via Satellite 11-19-2014] Gulfsat Madagascar has selected O3b Networks to provide satellite capacity for high-performance broadband and telephony services. The company is using O3b’s service as part of a hybrid network using satellite and fiber.
The additional bandwidth enables Gulfsat to offer enterprise services at speeds reaching 50 Mbps using O3bTrunk. The low latency of O3b’s Medium Earth Orbiting (MEO) satellites is expected to benefit the company’s oil and gas customers.
“The O3b solution and our fiber network are closely matched in terms of price and performance and as a result the two technologies work seamlessly together,” said Damien de Lamberterie, general manager of Gulfsat Madagascar.
