Tucked behind a stand of tall trees off a typically serene English country road just outside the town of Rugby, SMS’s teleport is barely seen from the road but it will become highly visible
to the satellite communications world in the coming months. The Rugby teleport is being transformed into the showcase gateway teleport from Europe for satellite delivered communications to Africa. The
Rugby Teleport was originally built in late 1998 on the site of a Cold War era nuclear bomb shelter. No expense was spared to construct the finest facility of its kind at the time. Careful consideration
was given to antenna placement, control centre facilities, operations space and offices, all enclosed in a beautifully landscaped, country-like compound including made-man duck pond.
 In 2006, the complex
was acquired by an international group of satellite communications professionals dedicated to completely refurbishing and upgrading the teleport in order to meet the needs of its customers today… and in
the future. |
For SMS, that future lies in making Rugby the premier European satellite teleport gateway to Africa. With the addition of new, dedicated satellite antennas, augmented RF transmission capacity, multiple
communications platforms and expansive direct connectivity to the Internet backbone, SMS is gearing up to provide the most complete satellite communications infrastructure for Sub-Sahara African service
providers on the upcoming T11-N and W2a satellites. Service capabilities include VNOs, SCPC, IP connectivity, streaming, voice, video, and data. SMS also offers Hub capacity and terminals for its STMi,
iDirect, Tandberg platforms.
