Astrium Services has opened its first teleport in Toulouse, France. This is in addition to their already existing satellite infrastructure network presence in the United Kingdom and Germany. With this service, Astrium now provides government and commercial customers an increased satellite communications capability for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephony services, Internet access, company intranet and networks, and secured VPN (virtual private networks). The services are intended for customers who need to communicate between their European head offices and their dispersed locations worldwide. The teleport offers a specific solution to any customer’s particular need.
The first customer is the Economat des Armées (the French equivalent of the NAAFI in the UK) of the French Ministry of Defence. They chose Astrium Services to provide the PASSEREL telecommunications services for the personal needs of troops involved in external operations. The four-year PASSEREL contract includes providing voice and internet services for more than 10,000 service personnel stationed around the world and enables troops to stay in touch with family and friends by telephone, email and via the Internet—France (pl)
