Talia International Partners with Satlynx to Expand Satellite Coverage

LONDON, UK. -- 2006-04-10

Talia International, provider of satellite and voice services, has partnered with Satlynx to provide expanded satellite coverage throughout the Middle East and Europe. Based on the exciting new Satlynx 9000 platform, Talia's shared networks will provide excellent services as the company maintains the same level of connectivity and support it's known for. Satellite services will be based on Express AM-1's wide European beam, with networks operating in multiple grades of service.

'We're excited to be able to open new markets with the addition of Satlynx to our offerings,' Travis Mooney, Talia International's Chief Operating Officer, said. 'The Satlynx platforms give us a robust and effective service with full control of the client experience, so we can continue to deliver excellent service and support.'

Better coverage throughout Europe and the Middle East

Partnering with Satlynx gives Talia better coverage throughout the Middle East and Europe and makes Talia's Satellite Solutions available in locations where direct services were previously unavailable. The Satlynx 9000 platform gives Talia the ability to build and control our own network, bringing customizable solutions to more potential customers. In addition, Satlynx's 360E and 3020 services will be available to Talia customers throughout Europe.

SCPC capabilities expand with partnership

Alongside shared services, Satlynx adds their considerable SCPC offerings to Talia's dedicated satellite portfolio. With more choices amongst satellites and backend technologies, Talia SCPC can fit your exact requirement, whether it be 64x64Kb or a full transponder.
