IABG selects Eutelsat for fully secure satellite-based broadband solutions in Europe, North Africa, Middle East

The new services of IABG to these regions will include the implementation and management of fully secure satellite-based communication solutions and a new service for analysing communication network vulnerability. IABG is a privately-owned company specialised in technology and science service provision. The company has four decades of experience in civilian and military services areas with clients who include Airbus for whom IABG is currently conducting calibration and durability tests for the new A380 airplane.

IABG will primarily target its services to organisations and enterprises in Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland who want to establish closer, faster and more secure communications links between their sites in the Middle East and Gulf regions and their headquarters in central Europe. The company already operates many hundreds of networks for large cooperations and ISPs in the Middle East. For the transfer of these networks from other satellite systems and its new security services, IABG will use four of the 24 transponders on <link http: www.eutelsat.com home index.html external-link-new-window externen link in neuem>Eutelsat’s W6 satellite.

„Eutelsat offers the highest standards in quality and security of its satellites. With W6, we are able to further extend the high reliability of our service offer in the Middle East. This new agreement also enables us to initiate our new high-end security solution via satellite,“ commented Hans Salzinger, Vice-President of IABG. „The concept of security is a leitmotif of our company’s business. Within the scope of our projects, IABG is a market-leader in the operation of worldwide secure simulation networks,“ added Salzinger.

„By combining our W6 satellite with the exceptional know-how of IABG, customers in German-speaking markets and in Italy are now able to establish fully secure satellite-based communication networks with their sites in North Africa, the Middle East and the Gulf regions, at to the highest international standards,“ said Olivier Milliès-Lacroix, Commercial Director of Eutelsat S.A.

Today hundreds of international companies, carriers, ISPs and large organisations use complete end-to-end communication solutions provided by IABG for Internet, voice, data and video transmissions via satellite. The company operates two teleports, in Ottobrunn and Weilheim, near Munich (Germany) which are connected to the Internet backbone and the company’s own fibre network, and are strategically located to be able to access satellites reaching Latin America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.
