The service will provide a secure satellite network on the THAICOM 6/AFRICOM 1 satellite, which is located at 78.5 degrees East, and an Intersat-owned, collocated iDirect hub at the company’s Kenya-based teleport. Intersat will manage the end-to-end service from their Network Operations Center (NOC) in Nairobi, Kenya.
The platform provides a fully managed, customized turnkey service, utilizing state-of-the-art Evolution® hub technology by iDirect which, when combined with THAICOM 6/AFRICOM 1’s powerful beams over Africa, leverages high degrees of efficiency to deliver cost-effective and competitive managed services to its customers.
The satellite service provided by Intersat and Thaicom is a fully-managed, customized, turnkey service for reliable and secure communications with a rugged network infrastructure and a quick turnaround time.
