Paris, France (SPX) Dec 07, 2005
France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications has developed a tailored offering for BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) covering airtime, terminals, value-added services and applications, designed to provide end-users and distributors with the most complete broadband mobile satellite solution on the market.

To put in place its broadband mobile satellite strategy, France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications has leveraged three main assets. Drawing on its experience in IP over satellite, the service operator has enhanced and fine-tuned its IP platform to deliver a unique range of additional services and features for BGAN.

This development has been carried out in close cooperation with Inmarsat, which selected France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications as primary test partner in 2004 to prepare the run-up to the official launch.

Secondly, close partnerships with approximately 100 distributors in key locations worldwide will provide France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications with a strong sales force with in-depth knowledge of broadband mobile satellite needs in local markets.

Thirdly, a culture based on flexibility and innovation has led France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications to develop the widest range of tailored features for BGAN, closely matching the needs of both end customers and resellers. These include:

IP addressing:
VPN for secure access to corporate network through public/private and dynamic/static addresses Data transfer applications
SkyFile Mail, high-performance messaging software compressing emails, faxes and SMS by up to 90%
SkyFile Video, an "all-in-one" video processing tool enabling users to create, edit and send video files
SkyFile Access for file transfer protocol including free disk storing capacity and web browsing Security
Firewall and anti-virus to protect from unwanted intrusion and viruses Budget control
Credit watch tool on www.ftmsconline.com enabling distributors to consult traffic details, set up barring thresholds and avoid debt collection Traffic management through "Click-on page" portal on www.clickonftmsc.com
Optimising traffic by assigning a priority to applications (e.g. VoIP or e-mail transfer)
Call data records (CDR) available online to consult traffic
Protocol filter helping restrict the use of certain sites or applications Pre-paid services
Scratch & Web pre-paid card for multiple end-user communications on a single terminal

"We are convinced that BGAN's unique combination of broadband, worldwide coverage and mobility together with its capability to deliver voice, ISDN and IP services will attract many new users in our existing customer segments including government agencies, NGOs and media," states Erik Ceuppens, CEO of France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications.

"But these unmatched characteristics will also stimulate additional demand from new customers wishing to create a mobile office environment in areas without traditional infrastructure, and companies looking for a reliable solution to extend corporate networks."
