MTN Presents StarEdge Horizon: A Revolutionary Satellite Service on AWS
In a significant advancement for satellite connectivity, MTN Satellite Communications has launched the StarEdge Horizon service on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. This innovative satellite service is designed for businesses that require last-mile connectivity and secure cloud backhauling to any remote location worldwide. With the ability to access private connectivity services over Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations directly through their AWS accounts, companies can ensure secure and direct data traffic to their AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPC).
The introduction of StarEdge Horizon is a game-changer for AWS Marketplace customers, enabling them to tap into comprehensive satellite communication features with just a few clicks. Businesses across various sectors can quickly procure this private LEO satellite service and integrate it seamlessly into their cloud strategies, thanks to simplified procurement processes and consolidated billing via existing AWS accounts.
Connecting to StarEdge Horizon is streamlined through a shared transit gateway, which allows for full integration with AWS services, including Cloud WAN and Site Link. This optimized architecture enables businesses to deploy the service globally in as little as 24 hours, accelerating satellite connectivity deployment for enterprises and ensuring that traffic is routed securely to their AWS VPCs.
StarEdge Horizon is built on a Layer-2 network architecture that operates over LEO satellite constellations. It was specifically designed to eliminate the need for traditional Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and tunneling, which can introduce additional latency. By routing long-haul data traffic over a private path away from the public internet, this solution significantly enhances security, predictability, and performance for remote operations around the globe.
The service offers major hyperscalers private connectivity options that serve as critical last-mile connections and backhaul paths for accessing cloud services. This enables customers to extend their corporate networks and direct remote locations securely into their AWS VPCs, thus streamlining network management and reducing latency.
Businesses can now locate, subscribe to, and deploy StarEdge Horizon through the AWS Marketplace catalog, simplifying the purchasing process and accelerating deployment times while allowing for consolidated billing.
StarEdge Horizon features a true Layer-2 private network architecture, allowing remote sites to connect to the corporate WAN via MTN’s Points of Presence (PoPs). This centralizes Internet access and enforces security policies under a single policy in the cloud or within the customer’s data center.
The solution offers true static IP addressing and subnet assignment, crucial for centralized monitoring, policy enforcement, and application allowance—features essential for corporate security and remote management.
“Making StarEdge Horizon available on the AWS Marketplace is a pivotal step in transforming LEO connectivity into an easily purchasable, enterprise-friendly network solution with just a few clicks,” said Brian Govanlu, Director of Engineering at MTN. “Our Layer-2 architecture combined with the optimized procurement and cloud integration of AWS Marketplace offers customers the fastest, safest, and most cost-effective way to expand their cloud environments to any remote location in the world. It is the ideal solution for enterprises requiring reliable last-mile connectivity and secure cloud backhauling globally.”
Currently, StarEdge Horizon is being deployed for enterprise customers in sectors such as energy, construction, and logistics.
MTN is a world-class network operator that connects global business operations with the speed, security, and trust they require. Our multi-network architecture provides resilient, fully managed connectivity for critical systems and remote teams across shipping, energy, government, and enterprise sectors. Headquartered in Florida, with offices in Europe, the Middle East, and South America, MTN enables rapid deployments and premium service anywhere. The company pioneered the provision of converged connectivity solutions globally by partnering with leading mobile operators and satellite communication providers to integrate 5G/LTE and high-throughput satellite networks (HTS) alongside advanced Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations like Starlink and OneWeb.
