Stratos Global Corp. said it launched the implementation of an IP network enhancement project designed to provide the platform for a new generation of IP service offerings and improved network efficiency across Stratos’ entire range of remote communications solutions, including mobile and fixed satellite services and microwave and telephony services in the Gulf of Mexico.

The primary component of the project is the establishment of an end-to-end, IP-based core network that will provide Stratos with a single integrated communications platform to link and manage all voice and data traffic over its remote communications services.

“Whether [our customers] are using an Inmarsat terminal, a VSAT system or a microwave solution, or any combination, customers will be able to communicate across the systems and access data seamlessly using the same suite of unique, value-added applications,” Stratos President and CEO Jim Parm said in a prepared statement.
