New Skies to launch IP Service on NSS-7 Satellite

G2 Satellite Solutions, a subsidiary of PanAmSat, plans to launch a fully managed IP-networking service in the African and Middle East regions for government and military customers by using New Skies' NSS-7 satellite. The service is designed to support ongoing humanitarian, diplomatic and military efforts throughout the region by offering highly secure IP-based enterprise networks. The service employs a 9.3-meter antenna accessing NSS-7 from G2's government teleport in Silver Spring, Maryland, and broadband networking technology from iDirect Technologies, a provider of satellite-based broadband access solutions. http://www.newskies.comhttp://www.g2sat.com
