STM Group is a leading provider of high-performance, standards-based satellite network systems and services for mobile and fixed-line IP-based telephony, data and multimedia applications used by enterprises, governments, telecommunications providers and systems integrators. Founded in 1984, the company has a long history as an internationally recognized innovator in the research, development, manufacturing and deployment of industry standards-based Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access (MF-TDMA) networks based on Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSATs) and carrier-class hub system products. STM's products were the first in the industry to be certified by SatLabs as compliant with the DVB-RCS industry standard. Today, under contract with the European Space Agency, STM leads an industry consortium to evaluate, develop and test the next generation of tecnologies aimed at inclusion in future DVB-RCS standards. See STM Corporate brochure below . Since 2003, the company has experienced phenomenal growth, averaging 65% per year, with its three lines of business: Turnkey Broadband Satellite Network Systems; Teleport Services; and Managed Services with Systems Integration. Over 50 countries around the world have satellite networks built on STM products. Headquartered in the United States, STM has a global presence with several hundred employees staffing 12 regional offices across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South and North America. STM operates six teleports and has three network operations centers for worldwide, continuous customer support. Research and development is based in Norway and California. Through close partnership with its customers, as both a product and service vendor, STM has the experience and insight to build solutions that are focused on the economic drivers, reliability factors and application benefits that customers care about most. STM offers two carrier-class product lines: SatLinkÔ, the leading DVB-RCS certified product family, optimized for Internet Protocol applications; and SolanteÔ, a world leading total solution for rural telephony and cellular backhaul, optimized for circuit-switched applications. Each provides high bandwidth links with excellent spectral efficiency and guaranteed quality of service. Both product lines employ advanced MF-TDMA technology for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth, and both support full-mesh topologies , for a single satellite "hop" among VSATs , as well as star topologies. With these leading products, STM serves customers that need small, cost-effective networks and those that need huge networks with full hub redundancy and multiple satellites serving thousands of VSATs for massive geographic coverage and capacity.
