Romantis to Provide Advanced Ground Equipment to Race Communications
MOSCOW, Russia – Romantis, a global provider of satellite services and networking equipment, announced today that it received an order to supply an additional VSAT hub and 2,000 Universal Hardware Platform (UHP) VSAT terminals to Race Communications. Earlier this year, Romantis delivered two hubs and 1,000 terminal units to the fast-growing Russian operator. The equipment will be used to expand Race Communications' networks via the Intelsat 904 satellite at 60° East. Intelsat 904 offers C- and Ku-band coverage across Africa, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, supporting DTH services to customers in Russia and Kazakhstan.
"Intelsat is working closely with leading network hardware manufacturers and service providers, such as Romantis, to align their product development plans with our next generation Intelsat EpicNG platform. Epic's open architecture allows end users to select the hardware platform that is best suited for their requirements, while hardware providers will be able to optimize their solutions to ensure customers achieve maximum efficiency on network throughput," said Intelsat Regional Vice President of Europe and Middle East Sales Jean-Philippe Gillet.
"We have deployed several VSAT networks for various applications based on the Romantis UHP equipment. The effectiveness and reliability of this equipment were the key criteria in selecting the technology to implement our ambitious long-term strategy," said Dmitry Orlov, CTO of Race Communications. "With the advent of HTS, the market for satellite communications is undergoing significant changes and we, together with Romantis would like to be active participants of these transformations".
Romantis UHP is the latest generation, high-throughput, universal VSAT platform with increased performance, advanced QoS and multi-profile operations. Broad functionality makes Romantis UHP the absolute leader in terms of unparalleled scalability and cost of ownership. The joint solution of Romantis and Intelsat based on the UHP technology and the EpicNG satellites is addressed to a wide range of corporate clients, operators and broadcasters worldwide.
