In a leap towards boosting global connectivity, MetTel has become an Authorized Reseller for Starlink. This partnership extends managed network services across the globe for both government and commercial enterprises. By leveraging the power of Starlink’s expansive laser mesh network, which consists of low-Earth orbit satellites, MetTel facilitates fully managed services with worldwide reach.
Starlink offers a low-latency, high-speed service, typically providing speeds over 100 Mbps. This setup supports demanding applications such as edge computing and remote monitoring. Its unique designs, such as the Flat High Performance service, promise enhanced GPS and are suitable for mobile environments like vehicles, ships, and planes in select locations.
An exciting development is MetTel’s integration of its SD-WAN broadband service with Starlink. This collaboration unlocks new applications and redefines networks, gaining adoption from government, finance, construction, and more. The capability of connecting even remote or rugged sites, alongside maintaining continuity during disasters, adds immense value.
Moreover, MetTel has already implemented SD-WAN as a primary and secondary network option, ensuring reliability and scalability. The vast network of Starlink, serving over 4 million users globally, underlines the scope and significance of this service, expanding connectivity to both urban and isolated areas.
“In strong partnership with MetTel, we have created a Velocloud/VMware solution that has performed very well for us,” stated John Pieratt, Business Unit Executive for FIS. The use of Starlink enhances connectivity options, ensuring low latency and performance diversity.
SD-WAN and Starlink stand among the fast-growing network services. The market forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 14.6% in spending over the coming years, driven by their widespread market penetration.
