MTN launches click-to-deploy satellite service on AWS Marketplace | Computer Weekly

"The partnership means that enterprises can obtain private connectivity services over LEO satellite constellations via their AWS account, securely routing remote site traffic directly to their AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), using simplified procurement and consolidated billing through their existing AWS accounts. This eliminates the need for standard virtual private networks (VPNs) and tunnelling that can introduce extra latency."

"StarEdge Horizon is a Layer 2 network architecture that operates over LEO satellite constellations. By routing long-haul traffic on a private path off the public internet, MTN claims its service significantly improves security, predictability and performance for global remote operations."

"StarEdge Horizon's availability on AWS Marketplace is designed to streamline IT and network operations for cloud-centric enterprises with a number of key features such as direct-to-cloud peering and simplified enterprise procurement. The service provides private connectivity options to major hyperscalers, serving as the critical last-mile link and backhaul path for accessing cloud services."

MTN has introduced StarEdge Horizon, a Layer 2 network architecture operating over low Earth orbit satellite constellations, now available through the AWS Marketplace. The service enables enterprises to deploy private satellite connectivity to remote locations in as little as 24 hours. By routing traffic directly to AWS Virtual Private Clouds through private satellite paths, the service eliminates traditional VPN tunneling and associated latency issues. The integration provides simplified procurement, consolidated billing through existing AWS accounts, and enhanced security by keeping long-haul traffic off the public internet. This solution serves enterprises across all sectors requiring last-mile connectivity and secure cloud backhauling, with direct-to-cloud peering capabilities and streamlined IT operations for cloud-centric organizations.
