Level 3 Teams with PanAmSat for Hybrid Satellite-Fiber Network

Level 3 Communications is working with PanAmSat to offer a hybrid satellite/fiber solution for the delivery of entertainment content and information to cable broadcasters, network television affiliates, news agencies, ISPs and other customers around the globe. As part of the design of this hybrid network, PanAmSat is using Level 3’s (3)Packet ATM and (3)CrossRoads Internet access services in several U.S. markets. The network allows PanAmSat to transition to a virtual teleport model, enabling it to connect and consolidate its six existing U.S. teleports. In addition, it allows PanAmSat’s customers to access these teleport hubs via Level 3’s POPs in 70 cities in the U.S. and Europe. The companies also agreed to collaborate in the further development and promotion of PanAmSat’s hybrid network initiatives.
