Intelsat has collaborated with Cloudcast Digital Limited (CDL) to
expand its service offerings in India. This partnership is leveraging Intelsat's
FlexMove solution to enhance land mobile services across remote areas of India,
under the technological guidance of Planetcast Media Services Limited. The
initiative includes introducing FlexMove to support land-mobile operations,
aiming to assist in disaster relief efforts and offer vital communication solutions
for border security and law enforcement through vehicle-mounted and portable
backpack units. Additional services like FlexEnterprise and FlexExec are also
being introduced to cover various sectors including maritime, enterprise, and
business jets.
The partnership between Intelsat and CDL aims to deliver new land
mobility services throughout India, utilizing Intelsat’s FlexMove, a fully managed
end-terminal service, to reach customers in hard-to-reach locations. This
expansion builds on their prior collaboration in introducing Flex services in India,
which began in 2022, combining Intelsat’s satellite capacity, a dedicated Flex
gateway in Noida, and CDL’s In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC) license
to enhance broadband connectivity for maritime ventures. The current
expansion is particularly focused on land-mobile applications, supporting rapid
response for disaster relief operations among others.
Intelsat and CDL have joined forces to boost satellite communication
connectivity across India through Intelsat's FlexMove. This initiative is set to
provide land mobile services to customers located in remote and challenging
locations, managed by Planetcast Media Services Limited. FlexMove, introduced
as part of this collaboration, is designed to facilitate prompt responses for
disaster relief operations for border security, police forces, and disaster relief
agencies, incorporating solutions like vehicle-mounted and backpack options for
seamless communication. This effort builds on the success of the Flex services
launched in 2022, aimed at offering broadband services and connectivity for
global enterprise and mobility customers.
