The logistics command centre located inside the ADF compound at Dili Airport in Timor can now make VoIP calls to the Australian PSTN via Newsat satellite.
The service, made possible by URSYS, MyNetPHone and satellite company, Newsat could pave the way for more satellite VoIP deployments by MyNetPhone.

Although located within the ADF compound the customer is an Air Services Logistics company, providing support to the Australian defence presence in Timor.

"Our satellite communications partner, URSYS, provides new routing technology to optimise VoIP traffic across satellite with the MyNetFone service," said Andy Fung, Managing Director of MyNetFone.

"URSYS has now connected all major teleports operating in Australia into the MyNetFone service delivering business quality voice calls from any location within the satellite footprints covering Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. As a result, we expect significant VoIP satellite business for MyNetFone this year," he said.

Grahame Cover, CEO of URSYS said: "To run business quality voice services over satellite, you have to compress the voice packets in a trunk and prioritise the voice data via a secure tunnel all the way back to MyNetFone's platform. This has the added bonus of zero packet loss and low traffic congestion resulting in business grade call quality."


"We currently support dozens of URSYS clients operating in what we now call ‘Managed Space Segments' as opposed to ‘Public Space Segments'," said David Atkinson, General Manager - Teleports at NEWSAT.

"With the move away from Public Space we will able to greatly improve the security and performance of our Client Networks," he said.
