PYEONGTAEK, South Korea, Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intellian, a leading provider of future–proof satellite communications technology solutions, has announced a multi–year partnership agreement with Speedcast, one of the world's largest satellite communications service providers. The multi–million–dollar agreement will enable Intellian and Speedcast to collaborate in serving multiple markets with future–proof satellite connectivity, including the maritime and energy sectors.
The partnership builds upon the success of the existing relationship between the two organizations in the energy, commercial maritime and cruise industries, and comes at a promising time for the industry, which has been experiencing a recent explosion in demand. As part of the agreement, Intellian will continue to provide equipment to Speedcast as a preferred supplier, ensuring delivery to meet customer needs, despite volatile supply chain constraints. Specifically, this equipment encompasses the full range of Intellian's maritime portfolio, from the C700 up to v240M/MT models, as well as LEO antenna systems and the inclusion of future land antennas, enabling Speedcast to serve every market. Additionally, Intellian will support continued equipment upgrades across Speedcast's existing customer sites.
Intellian's expanding product portfolio, from the industry–leading v240MT Tri–band antenna, NX Maritime VSAT Series to the recently announced range of Enterprise terminals, will enable Speedcast to meet increasing customer demand amidst growth in the satellite communications sector. The upcoming launch of another factory in Pyeongtaek, South Korea will boost production and supercharge capacity, enabling Intellian to deliver optimized logistics and warehousing capabilities to Speedcast.
The agreement comes on the heels of Speedcast's recent renewals with all of its major cruise customers and the expansion of its Unified Global Platform (UGP), with the addition of 13 Gbps of capacity to its network, in part to support European and Alaskan cruise requirements. Speedcast's platform now includes 30 Gbps of total bandwidth, which the company leverages in the design and deployment of complete managed connectivity solutions for customers across energy, passenger and commercial maritime, and enterprise markets.
Eric Sung, CEO and President at Intellian, commented: "Intellian is delighted to announce this strengthened partnership with Speedcast, building on an existing successful relationship. With Speedcast's global presence and expertise across multiple market sectors, this agreement signifies an important partnership for the industry.
