Managed Broadband VPN Services By Hughes

Hughes has introduced a new VPN offering called the ‘Managed Broadband VPN’ as a part of its Managed Network Services portfolio.

The service is currently being launched in two categories. The first category uses either a terrestrial or satellite medium at an organisation’s location depending on the feasibility and reliability criteria. The second category uses both the terrestrial and satellite medium at each and every location.

"While IP VPN market in India is estimated to be around USD 386.7 million in 2008 and growing at a rate of 32.7%, the challenges faced by distributed enterprises with respect to cost-effective connectivity while networking large number of points of presence and lack of skilled IT manpower to manage these networks still remains a reality. Hughes’ Optimised VPN Service plugs this very gap in the market," said K. Krishna, AVP Marketing, Hughes India. "The response from verticals like retail and BFSI has been extremely positive and I am confident that Hughes will be able to capture a sizeable chunk of this market," he added.
