Optical Satellite-as-a-Service, “OSaaS” is equivalent to terrestrial wholesale fiber and undersea cable Infrastructure-as-a-Service, “IaaS”. Legacy terrestrial carriers offer a standardized wavelength product (e.g. 100Gbps), at 1550nm wavelength, committed to a dedicated, fixed route, service connection (24/7) to specific point-to-point destinations. 

 

OSaaS offers the customer a product priced, and delivered equivalent to terrestrial carrier services (IaaS), with the flexibility to self-provision new or re-task underutilized circuits to any Point of Presence (PoP’s) on the HALO network, irrespective of any location under a single pricing plan.

 
For example, traditional carrier services are based on routes, e.g. New York – London. If the customer wants to go beyond London for another destination, a new circuit is provisioned - London – Cairo - Two circuits, two prices, possibly bundled into a single MSA. 

HALO offers up to 100 global locations at a single, overall price – an aggregate of route pricing, discounted for scale – with the ability of the customer to prioritize connections, locations and traffic end-points. This flexibility allows a customer to maximize their carrier spend for data transport to locations when and where it is needed in real time.

Since HALO Global Access is provided ALL “ON-NET”, as an end-to-end global SD-Network, the customer can expect greater security, higher QoS, and lower latency then by relying on/off 3rd party “gap” network providers.
