Spacenet Inc. has added EV-DO, a 3G high-speed wireless data service, to its portfolio of satellite and common carrier broadband services. This new offering enables enterprise and government customers to leverage EV-DO as part of a hybrid network for primary or stand-by communications, or at locations where other wireline alternatives are not available. In 2004, Spacenet became the first major US satellite service provider to offer hybrid network services that combine the best of satellite (VSAT) and common carrier technologies, including DSL, cable, frame relay and leased lines. Spacenet has added EV-DO services to complement its portfolio of hybrid network connectivity options. As part of a hybrid network, EV-DO can serve as primary connectivity or as a "hot stand-by" to a satellite link. In many cases, it can also be used at locations where other wireline connections are not available, providing a wireless broadband alternative to slower dial-up services.
