New broadband satellite disaster recovery services for Mexico and Latin America

Comsat International, a provider of enterprise networking services throughout Latin America, and Tachyon Networks Inc., a provider of carrier grade broadband satellite services for large enterprises and government agencies, have announced a strategic partnership that will allow Comsat to utilise Tachyon's network infrastructure to offer reliable high speed broadband satellite services to large enterprises in Mexico and portions of Central America and the Caribbean.

Comsat's extensive enterprise, carrier and ISP base of customers will be able to take advantage of Tachyon's enhanced broadband network portfolio at access speeds up to 2 Mbps from the most remote areas not served by wireline carriers.

"Comsat's existing base of enterprise customers requires a broadband solution that can be leveraged for primary Internet access in remote locations as well as serve as a disaster recovery/backup solution for operations in metropolitan areas served by landline carriers," said Alfonso Torres, Comsat's country manager in Mexico. "Tachyon's technology allows us to economically fill this void."
