Services will support a minimum of 4-Gigabits
using SES’s newly introduced next-generation technology
With unprecedented demand for high-powered mobile connectivity
in the most isolated communities of the Amazon, SES today announced
it has signed a multiyear capacity renewal with Claro Brasil,
through Embratel, its corporate solutions division, to enable the
delivery of enhanced 4G/5G-ready services via its O3b mPOWER
network, SES’s next-gen medium earth orbit (MEO) communications
system, in at least eight of 23 cities the telco serves via SES’s
multi-orbit satellite network across the region.
Under the renewal agreement, Embratel could leverage 4 Gbps over
SES’s O3b mPOWER network to extend its high-powered mobile backhaul
service through this cutting-edge technology to serve more than
260,000 inhabitants of the eight cities in the Amazon region. SES
will continue to serve other communities in the region with SES’s
geostationary (GEO) satellite-delivered backhaul capacity.
Embratel has relied on an increasing amount of SES satellite
services over the past five years to fulfill the Brazilian National
Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) universal service requirements
in support of the communities in the Amazon – the most isolated
region in Brazil. Embratel has grown its demand of SES capacity
from an initial 250 Mbps serving four towns to 5.5 Gbps of GEO and
MEO bandwidth supporting 23 cities. For example, thanks to the
flexibility offered by SES’s current generation MEO system, O3b,
some sites have grown to more than 500 Mbps.
By leveraging SES’s mPOWERED Mobile Backhaul service, a solution
delivered via O3b mPOWER, Embratel would also be able to support 5G
networks’ high throughput demand with a solution that is scalable
to multiple gigabits-per-second per location.
According to Embratel, SES’s O3b mPOWER new technology will
allow us to extend the company network platform and provide a whole
new level of mobile services to our customers in some of the most
isolated villages and cities in the Amazon region.
“Our mPOWERED Mobile Backhaul service offers unmatched
scalability and flexibility, which enables leading telecom
providers like Claro Brasil to land traffic with unrivaled
flexibility – either in country or directly to the cloud – and can
be easily expanded to accommodate data growth from Claro’s
cellphone customers, offering a great quality of experience, even
in some of the most remote areas of Brazil,” said Omar Trujillo,
Vice President of Network Sales for Americas at SES. “SES is
thrilled to extend our partnership with Embratel and Claro in
Brazil and the Amazon region, where they are the first telco to
sign on with O3b mPOWER to continue reducing the connectivity
divide for a growing number of people and communities.”
