IsNet completes successful network deployment utilizing PolarSat’s VSATPlus®3 satellite modem for major oil and gas customer in Turkey

PolarSat Inc. the technology leader in full mesh hubless VSAT modem technology, is pleased to announce that the service provider IsNet, has successfully deployed a satellite-based backup network for a major Oil and Gas Company in Turkey.

IsNet has completed installation of a satellite-based backup system that dynamically provides on-demand communications infrastructure in the event of an unforeseen terrestrial network outage.

The VSATPlus®3 provides greater overall network reliability by having no single point of failure within the Oil and Gas Company’s private network. Furthermore, with its full mesh capability, any station can connect to any other site in the network with a single hop over the satellite, on demand. This greatly reduced the cost of implementing this network since all sites do not require dedicated bandwidth but instead can effectively share the bandwidth.

PolarSat VSATPlus®3 MF-TDMA Satellite modem was selected by IsNet, a leading service provider, to provide the most cost effective and flexible solution to its enterprise customer. “For this application there is simply no better solution that can adapt to such a large variety of outages for such a low cost. It has been the perfect solution for us and our end user”, stated Doğan Hakverdi Manager of Satellite Operations

The backup network consists of total of 16 sites that are managed by IsNet’s operation control center. These sites are all connected in a full mesh all-IP based network and are located throughout Turkey. The VSAT network provides back up to the terrestrial Next Generation Network (NGN). In the event of a loss of terrestrial connectivity between any of the customer sites the VSATPlus®3 system automatically provides connectivity. All sites support a complex mix of voice and data communications.

Ron Mankarious Vice President of Sales and Marketing said, “PolarSat is very pleased to work with IsNet because of their extensive experience in the satellite market in Turkey for the Oil and Gas sector. The launch of this new backup network shows carriers and corporations everywhere how PolarSat can economically deliver a highly scalable and reliable system utilizing the VSATPlus®3 platform to serve the emerging demand for mission-critical private enterprise networking.”

The VSATPlus®3 family of terminals provides a full mesh, hubless network with no single point of failure and offers the greatest ease of network configuration and expansion. It supports the most demanding network applications including high quality voice, low and high-speed data, video conferencing and fax - all in a single low-cost, integrated platform.
