Inmarsat Peering

Peering with Inmarsat in any of the available locations across America, Europe or Asia demand redundant connectivity between Inmarsat MMP in the given hosting providers - this is typically a set of fiber cables that offer the needed connection through a GRE tunnel.

Inmarsat connections

Inmarsat interconnect in same hosting center are relative easy, simply specify the MMP number to get the direct cabling in place between racks – getting two fiber connections or two ethernet connections in place – both using a GRE tunnel to protect data.

Below documents describe Inmarsat POP integration part, overview, test cases and similar.

UNIVERSAL SATELITTE DATA POP ENVIRONMENT THAT HANDLE INMARSAT BGAN, FBB, SBB, GSPS, LINK, M2M, GX, IRIDIUM CERTUS, THURAYA IP, INTELSAT, VIASAT VSAT, 4G AND LTE AUTHENTICATION, ROUTING AND SECURITY.

Inmarsat MMP Peering

Inmarsat will provide a Peering point in the hostiong location MMP, here will the operator need to establish two Fiber cables between MMP and the operators hosting rack. These Fiber cables will be protected in the hosting environment – meaning their will be no unauthorised access to these in the MMP as well as in the operators locked rack.

GRE Tunnel - MMP to Rack

All communication between Inmarsat and Operator – Radius authentication as well as customer data flow will end to end be added into a GRE tunnel – this mean traffic in the MMP will as well be encrypted – for highly secure data like from spy satellites can as well an additional IPsec tunnel be added inside the GRE tunnel setup.
