MTN Launches a New Solution for Private and Secure LEO Satellite Connectivity
){kind=logo}
"StarEdge
Horizon is a fundamental shift in how LEO is deployed for enterprise users,"
said Emmanuel Cotrel, CEO at MTN.
"We are moving beyond basic internet
access to deliver a true Layer 2 private network solution. This is about
providing corporate security, guaranteed high-speed, with a simplified network
and seamless integration for redundancy. This ensures that mission-critical
operations in every remote corner of the globe are always connected with
fiber-level secure connectivity."
Layer 2 is a method that allows two
points to communicate as if they were on the same local network, simplifying
data management. With StarEdge Horizon, this protocol provides many benefits to
companies such as:
●
Redefining Security and Simplified Wide
Area Network (WAN) Integration: As companies have made security a top priority, StarEdge Horizon is
engineered to improve cybersecurity while unifying remote corporate networks.
With a true private network architecture,
StarEdge Horizon’s private path lets remote sites connect into the corporate
WAN through MTN’s points of presence. Internet access is centralized at MTN’s
servers or the customer’s data center under one policy, improving visibility
and reducing operational complexity and cost.
●
Mission-Critical Performance and
Continuity: The
system also enables advanced Network Segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS)
prioritization. In moments of network saturation, this capability guarantees
that mission-critical data, such as control systems or security feeds, is
prioritized over general internet traffic, maintaining operational continuity.
In addition, StarEdge Horizon system seamlessly integrates with OneWeb, LTE, or
traditional VSAT solutions, providing automatic redundancy.
●
Direct Cloud Peering and Static IP: In addition, Horizon provides private
connectivity options to major clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) where
available, reducing exposure to the open internet for cloud-bound traffic. It
also delivers true static IP addressing and subnet allocation, giving each
remote site or device a secure and consistent network identity. This enables
centralized monitoring, policy enforcement, and access control capabilities
that are essential for enterprise security, remote management, and application
allow-listing.
StarEdge Horizon is rolling out with
enterprise customers across land-based in the energy sector. MTN plans broader
availability for maritime areas in Q1 2026.
