BACKBONE CONNECTIVITY :: IP TRUNKING
Are you an ISP needing a faster pipe across the Atlantic? A backbone from London through to Athens or Istanbul? A direct connection to the nearest Network Access Point?
Whatever your location and needs, satellite is the best method for bypassing or simply extending the terrestrial fibre optic network. Just as with radio waves, satellite has the ability to reach out everywhere, effectively removing local loop difficulties, especially in areas with poorly developed infrastructure.
Eutelsat's satellite capacity provides ISPs with backbone connectivity, allowing them to offer greater service availability than is possible with terrestrial fibre-only solutions. Satellites can effectively remove local loop difficulties, resolving backbone congestion due to high-volume use, by offering a high-capacity connection that is also a more direct route.
Extending the capability of fibre optics network, satellites allow ISPs to effectively service users located in regions with poorly developed infrastructures.
Today's global markets need wide coverage. Flexible, fully configurable, satellite capacity helps reduce backbone costs, ease backbone congestion and increase download speed and geographic coverage.
Internet backbone & satellite
The Internet backbone is the long-haul communications links between connected Internet networks. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) link up to this super fast connection at Network Access Points located in major metropolitan areas. Local ISPs connect to the backbone through routers that enable data to be carried to their final destinations.
As Internet subscriber numbers grow exponentially, the infrastructure can struggle to keep up. However, with a satellite connection between Network Access Points and the Internet backbone, ISPs can discover a new freedom. Firstly, they can assure access whatever the amount of traffic, and secondly, it no longer matters where the customers are. Satellite is an ideal tool for regions where terrestrial infrastructure is insufficient, congested, partially or totally deactivated.
ISP subscriber requests are still routed through terrestrial lines, but downloaded IP data is routed via satellite directly to the ISPs point of presence (POP), ensuring more efficient Internet traffic management.
