Axesat achieved provisional certification of its Bogota, Colombia Teleport under the World Teleport Association‘s (WTA) Teleport Certification Program. Axesat’s teleports offer business services including internet, voice, data, contingency and backup solutions, mobility solutions, connectivity for events and emergencies, and cellular backhaul.

Since its introduction at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2015, WTA’s certification program has added 40 teleports in 3 years, and currently has 12 teleports engaged in the quality evaluation process. Certifications have been issued to teleports operated by Eutelsat, Comsat, Globecomm, Horizon, GlobalSat, CETel, Intelsat, Speedcast, among others.

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 provides a means for customers to select teleport vendors delivering the price-performance level that is appropriate for their applications.
