Teleport Services:

Uplinking – Large antennas and RF equipment at our teleports enable the transmission of a video and data to one or more Telesat satellites.
Co-location Services – Telesat provides rack space, conditioned power, security and support for servers as well as solutions that enable remote management of equipment. Customers can add remotes, change performance parameters and security levels on their own, or utilize Telesat support as needed.
SCPC Service – Dedicated IP bandwidth to terrestrially challenged remote areas around the world, typically using SCPC modems provided by Telesat at the teleport end. Traffic can be transported to the Internet or a customer’s private backhaul.

Hub-based services – Telesat operates iDirect and Hughes hub platforms that can simultaneously support many high performance networks, leveraging DVB-S2X/ACM and other transmission technologies in C-, Ku- and Ka-bands. High levels of redundancy are integrated into all critical components to assure maximum availability.
VNO (Virtual Network Operator) and Hosted VNO Services – Telesat provides the hub hardware required at our teleport locations to support VNOs. With a Hosted VNO, customers provide their own line cards, protocol processors and NMS and realize the benefits of low costs, scalability and rapid deployment.
