Corporate communication networks are critical in ensuring day-to-day business operations flow smoothly. With deficiencies in telephone networks and terrestrial infrastructure in developing regions, a modern, cost-effective communication solution is imperative to business continuity. It is therefore essential for corporate customers to have confidence in their satellite solution provider. Comprehensive, Trusted Satellite Communication Solutions Businesses around the globe have turned to EMC to implement a private corporate satellite network for their communication platform. As the alternative to leased lines and Internet-based VPN, these networks have reduced communication expenses and enhanced speed and reliability while facilitating operational improvements that impact a company s bottom line. Working closely with clients to provide network customization, strong technical support, and IT personnel training, EMC offers solutions that lead corporations to enhance their market competitiveness, reduce costs of doing business, generate new revenue streams, manage assets and inventory, implement modern accounting and CRM techniques, and better position themselves against potential threats. Features SatLink Private Networks Corporations are increasingly demanding satellite-based private networks to connect their geographically dispersed locations. EMC s SatLink network is ideal for global infrastructure requirements as it ensures consistent security, control, and SatLink Private Network Advantages Service Level Uniformity Security Bandwidth Utilization Rapid Expansion Scalability Ideal For: Expanding business into rural offices and remote areas Cost-efficient connectivity Reducing operational costs Implementing new accounting, supply chain management, project management, & CRM techniques Optimizing security Providing backup links 1
management, with the best possible coverage. Using a SatLink private network, organizations are guaranteed the necessary bandwidth to any location, with rapid deployment capabilities and excellent security. Control over communication can be maintained inhouse or contracted to EMC as a managed network. A SatLink private network can also be implemented on a shared SatLink Hub. This is possible without any compromise in network security, IP addressing flexibility, or bandwidth guarantees, given the modular architecture of SatLink Hub systems. One Platform for Multiple The SatLink VSAT network can simultaneously meet requirements for telephony, videoconferencing, Internet & Intranet access, and backup connectivity. SatLink also supports multiple network topologies, allowing for star, mesh, or hybrid topologies that reduce latency and maximize bandwidth utilization. Data Security Hybrid SatLink Private Corporate Network Data security, as well as overall network access security, is essential in all corporate networks. With a portion or all of the corporate network based on SatLink VSATs and Hubs, high levels of security are maintained. In addition, encryption, traffic filtering, and firewall options can be added to further safeguard data transfers and control what traffic can pass through the satellite network. 2
High-Definition Voice and Videoconferencing Wherever employees, customers, partners, and investors may be located, a satellite-based infrastructure will reduce travel costs and increase efficiency by enabling corporations to communicate with stakeholders via real-time high-definition voice and videoconferencing services. SatLink s advanced QoS features ensure voice and video quality plus dynamic bandwidth allocation to deliver uncompromising service. Text-based chat, document sharing, desktop sharing, white board, and other integrated features can also be easily added per requirements. Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery A dependable plan and proven system for disaster recovery is crucial for every business. Networks need to be designed with support for both link diversity and geographical diversity in the siting of major data processing and c o m m u n i c a t i o n s f a c i l i t i e s t o c i r c u m v e n t c o m m u n i c a t i o n interruptions in the event of a potential network disruption. SatLink networks provide an ideal backup solution for business continuity, with options for redundancy in all components and support for terrestrial and satellite links. Advanced communications coding ensures very low error rates and higher layer protocols ensure no data lost during transfers, ensuring business continuity through a component failure or network disruption.

Selected Industries Industry Example: Banking BEAC (Banque des États de l'afrique Centrale or The Bank of Central African States) is a large central bank serving CEMAC (Central African Economic and Monetary Community) with common currency for 6 countries Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo that needed secure and reliable communications for their banking infrastructure, as well as a private telephony network for inter-office communications. Videoconferencing is among one of several applications EMC provided to BEAC. The network provides connectivity to 20 offices in capitals and less densely populated cities, allowing them to directly communicate with each other and with BEAC s Paris Operations. Industry Example: Hospitality The hospitality industry depends on real-time access to data for booking information, room and service availabilities, and inventory tracking for supplies and amenities. In-room Internet and IPTV access also adds tremendous value to hotels in remote and underserved locations, allowing guests to stay connected and unwind with popular movies and shows while away from home. Industry Example: Construction & Infrastructure Projects The success of large construction and complex infrastructure projects for the development of roads, airports, railways, tunnels, dams, sewage facilities, water treatment facilities, power plants, power distribution networks, and cellular towers heavily depends on a reliable communication system. With project sites often in remote locations that lack existing terrestrial infrastructure, waiting months to 4
get new terrestrial lines installed is not an option. The SatLink network offers an immediate, costeffective solution that ensures consistent communication with government officials, distributed logistics centers, and local partners. Industry Example: Agriculture The growing dependence on reliable communication in the agriculture industry requires infrastructure that connects corporate offices with distribution centers and farms. SatLink private VSAT networks enable streamlined tracking of production and distribution, allowing for multiple locations to be managed and monitored remotely under one platform. Industry Example: Manufacturing & Food Production Conglomerates Supply chain management is important in manufacturing and food production, where tools, parts, and finished products need to be documented in a centralized database in order to ensure smooth day-to-day operations. EMC s SatLink network offers a core infrastructure for the communications needs of manufacturing and food production corporations with several geographically disbursed plants. Industry Example: Travel Airlines and travel service providers heavily rely on connectivity with their regional offices to keep track of flights, travel packages, prices, and deal availabilities. EMC's SatLink private network provides a common infrastructure for airlines and travel agents to track and coordinate information with local offices in real time, facilitating their ability to provide quality service to their customers. 5
Industry Example: Business Call Centers Links among call centers to handle call overflow across regions, call transfers, escalations, and supervisory monitoring can be provided through a private SatLink VoIP network. EMC s private network can tightly control end-to-end call quality by using higher definition voice coding for links, offering superiority over existing public voice services with poor quality and background noise filtration.
