SatManage will seamlessly integrate several regional satellite networks and network operations centers (NOCs) that provide military customers with global coverage — giving Intelsat General a single platform to more effectively track service performance and fault management. Intelsat General, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Intelsat S.A., will deploy SatManage software in 2010, optimizing a network that serves more than 150 military ships and supports a full range of broadband applications onboard, including Voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, data transfer and Internet access. SatManage can automate and accelerate the rate of network reporting, previously a difficult and time-consuming task due to the challenges of managing a large number of remote assets on a global scale. SatManage will also integrate Intelsat General’s multiple network management systems into a single interface, allowing the provider to streamline its NOC and troubleshoot more effectively across the network. By improving its visibility into its maritime network, Intelsat General can increase performance and reliability; identify and resolve issues more quickly; and effectively analyze long-term performance to make more informed decisions regarding overall network operations.
