Challenge:

HungaroDigitel (HDT) is a leading service provider for satellite communications in Central-Eastern Europe. The Hungarian government selected HDT as the prime contractor the KOZHALO project.

The KOZHALO public network project aims to set up an electronic communications infrastructure of public institutions and communal access connecting over 3,500 broadband end points. These Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) endpoints are small two-way field satellite terminals serving home and government users.

The project’s contract required broad and comprehensive coverage over Hungary. HDT turned to the AMOS network of high-performance broadband satellites for the crucial VSAT space segment of their winning bid.

Solution:

The AMOS satellites provide HDT with full connectivity between its hub in Budapest and terminals throughout the region. Because of the flexible solutions AMOS provided, HDT was able to meet the ambitious targets set by the Hungarian government for the widespread deployment of field terminals quickly and effectively, while delivering uninterrupted service to its clients.

The HDT/AMOS platform connects schools and other public facilities throughout Hungary, linking over 3,500 terminals throughout the region. The intelligent network will play a key role in the delivery of personal communications services using existing mobile and fixed networks.

Result:

Following the success of the project and AMOS strong performance, HDT has migrated additional traffic from other satellites into
AMOS. Switching to AMOS has reduced costs and made HDT more competitive in their market.
