[Via Satellite 09-30-2015] Eutelsat, Globecomm and Signalhorn have applied for the World Teleport Association’s (WTA) new Teleport Certification Program launched earlier this month. They join du, Elara Comunicaciones, GlobalSat and The Talia Group as beta customers. The seven companies will assist WTA in preparing the certification program for market while also receiving certification of their operations through the program.

WTA’s Teleport Certification Program aims to serve both teleport operators and their customers by creating an objective, transparent, and internationally accepted method for teleport operators to document the quality of their operations for customers and strategic partners. It also aims to provide a means for customers to select teleport vendors delivering the price-performance level that is appropriate for their applications.
