Hughes, a provider of satellite broadband services and managed network services, has introduced a new VPN offering called the 'Managed Broadband VPN' as a part of its Managed Network Services portfolio. Managed Broadband VPN claims to be a fully managed, cost-effective VPN solution designed on a dual medium of terrestrial and satellite to deliver connectivity services.

This bundled solution offers enterprise customers high reach and broadband speed at competitive rates and helps organizations connect a large number of sites.

The new service by Hughes effectively blends both satellite broadband and wireline technologies like DSL into a fully integrated Managed Network Service that offers the most cost-effective VPN service for enterprises at every location, translating into improved performance, higher employee productivity, and greater customer satisfaction. The service is currently being launched in 2 flavors. The first flavor uses either a terrestrial or satellite medium at an organization's location depending on the feasibility and reliability criteria. The second flavor uses both the terrestrial and satellite medium at every location in order to provide a higher uptime and more cost-effectiveness.

"While IP VPN market in India is estimated to be around US $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," said K. Krishna, AVP (marketing) of Hughes India.

The service also employs security standards such as IPSec and AES.
