ViaSat
will leverage its recent acquisition, cloud networking software
company LonoCloud, to enhance its existing satellite broadband network.
LonoCloud
employees will team up with their broadband networking counterparts
at ViaSat to turn core components of the LonoCloud Platform into a
Service (PaaS) product that can be integrated with the ViaSat
broadband by satellite network.
According
to Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat, LonoCloud's core
technical capability will improve ViaSat's current satellite broadband
offerings and speed up development cycles of new service offerings.
Based
in La Jolla, California, the privately-held LonoCloud created a
cloud-based service platform that use distributed mesh algorithms to
build a network foundation so that enterprise services and
applications can interact and communicate with one another. When
overlaid upon enterprise network environments, the Company's cloud
computing architecture can distribute cost-effective computing across
multiple servers in the cloud.
