SITA SC has signed a three year agreement with Air Madagascar to seamlessly integrate remote sites in the region – consisting of 10 town offices and 10 airports – into the airline’s existing corporate network, resulting in more efficient operations, increased sales and improved customer service.“Air Madagascar is a prime example of a customer leveraging SITA’s unique communications expertise and understanding of the industry to reap rewards in terms of operational efficiency and customer satisfaction,” said Hani El-Assaad, Vice President, Business Management, Middle East & Africa, SITA SC. SITA completed a thorough assessment of Air Madagascar’s existing systems and requirements before tailoring a solution that combines Very Small Aperture Terminal satellite-based technology with Wireless Local Loop services into a complete, managed, end-to-end solution. The solution leverages technologies vital for operations in locations where communications are often difficult, and fully integrates them into the airline’s existing SITA-managed Internet Protocol (IP)-based Virtual Private Network (VPN).“We determined that an end-to-end solution, managed by SITA and integrating remote provinces where communications are often difficult, would lead to the most efficient operations and support,” said Berend Bruns, Director General, Air Madagascar. “SITA ensures that all our sites can leverage applications such as reservations, departure control, accounting and e-ticketing, resulting in improved productivity, sales and customer satisfaction.”The three year agreement, valued at about US$1 million, will initially target 20 sites in the provinces, consisting of 10 town offices and 10 airports.VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) – is a type of ground station used to contact a communication satellite. In addition to tuning in satellite TV, they can be used to receive data such as IP multicasting and to create a wide area computer networks (WAN) infrastructure. Wireless Local Loop (WLL) services provide high capacity, reliable connectivity to local SITA nodes in regions where the local infrastructure is either unreliable or unsuitable for a particular requirement. They completely bypass the local terrestrial infrastructure
