The platform was launched at the Satellite 2024 Conference & Exhibition in Washington DC.

Paragon-S was developed in-house and on Singtel’s orchestration platform Paragon, which has been deployed in five countries including Singapore, Thailand, Spain, Taiwan, and Indonesia to help telcos in those respective countries drive the monetisation of their networks, compute, and applications.

Paragon-S enables satellite operators to offer edge computing to customers who adopt satellite connectivity to host mission-critical apps at on-premise at remote sites or multi-tenanted edge cloud at gateway locations the operators own.

Enterprises can switch applications between the satellite operators’ edge cloud and public clouds based on their business requirements.

The platform will offer a bundled solution to enterprises to allow them to switch between terrestrial fixed and 5G or 4G mobile network.

Singtel said the solution will also help GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites to optimise cost, resiliency, and connectivity performance.

“Paragon-S has been shaped by what we learned from our Paragon platform to facilitate the transformation of telcos to digital telcos. The introduction of Paragon-S will empower satellite operators to become platform companies for enterprises. We will build on our existing ecosystem with partners to help operators develop and accelerate time to market for their use cases,” said Singtel Digital InfraCo unit CEO Bill Chang.

Additionally, Singtel satellite operations will deploy Paragon-S to help manage and orchestrate its multiple orbit satellites and terrestrial mobile network services.
