Benefit from advanced IP communications, such as Voice over IP (VoIP), Virtual LAN (VLAN), as Lightband has developed a unique partnership with one of the largest earth-station (satellite) companies. This partnership enables connecting remote and off-shore locations over a global satellite and EMA (Eastern Massachusetts) earth-station network with up to OC-48 bandwidth capacities.

High-speed connectivity via satellite allows underdeveloped countries with poor telecommunications infrastructure to take advantage of the Internet and Web communications revolution. Other advanced IP applications such as remote medical diagnostics and imaging, distance learning, IP faxing and telephony, and offshore software/hardware engineering development become not only possible, but economical for companies and organizations. Lightband works with customers to define and implement "intersat" solutions to meet the need for remote office communications.
