ViaSat to offer businesses its 15 Mbps satellite Internet and continuity services through the Telarus partner sales channel.

SANDY, UT – April 14, 2015 -Telarus, Inc., master agent for more than 50 brands of business data, voice, and cloud services, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with ViaSat, Inc. to become the first nationwide master agent of its Exede® Business satellite Internet services. ViaSat, which has offered high-speed Internet services to residential customers for years, will now offer business services to small, medium and large enterprises through the Telarus partner sales channel, consisting of hundreds of partners across all 50 states.

Exede Business Internet, available in many areas across the U.S. – including rural communities without many options for high-speed DSL or cable – provides 15 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload speeds for Internet and cloud connectivity. With Exede Internet as a primary service, Telarus agents will be able to fill in coverage gaps -or use Exede to provide a reliable, affordable continuity service in the event of a service disruption with a primary provider.

“We are excited to become ViaSat’s strategic distribution partner. ViaSat is a world leader in commercial satellite communication, and their Internet solutions fit perfectly into our business continuity and underserved market strategies. We look forward to helping them build their Exede Business sales channel.” Trish Kapos, Telarus SVP of Marketing

Exede Business is now available to the Telarus partner sales channel, and has been integrated into Telarus’ patented GeoQuote system, allowing channel partners to prequalify, price, and propose Exede Business services to their clientele in near real-time.

“Telarus is an exceptional distribution partner for us. Their integrity, along with a track record for innovation and high-quality engineering, were major factors in our decision to partner with them. In addition to their technical capabilities, Telarus also built an extensive network of capable agents who will be able to sell our services on day one.” Dan Turak, VP of Sales and Distribution for ViaSat.

“Exede Business solutions play very well in today’s cloud-based environment,” said Tyler Smith, VP of Engineering for Telarus, Inc. “Many business in rural America needing more speed than a T1 line (1.5 MB) don’t have a tremendous amount of options for connectivity.
