Vice President, International Voice & Data
ICG Satellite Services
Backbone connections to the U.S Internet where
80%+ of web content resides, has historically been expensive and slow - particularly when
crossing oceans and/or national borders. As the demand for this international service has
risen, ISP's have increasingly turned to satellites to provide cost-effective connections.
These connections, especially when custom-engineered for high bandwidth (E1 to OC-3) and
asymmetric transmission, have helped to expand the Internet and bring Internet services to
the international public.
Issues to be addressed in this session include:
- Why satellite is more cost-effective as the primary international backbone connection
for ISP's
- Review of new data rates available via satellite - OC-3, etc.
- The benefits of asymmetric circuit design
- How satellites can increase bandwidth with shorter delivery intervals
- CASE STUDY Review: ICG/UUNet - Telintar Sur Argentina and ICG/UUNet and Embratel Brazil
