SITA has announced a new partnership with Versa Networks; the recognized secure access service edge (SASE) for the launch of SITA Connect Go. The latest launch by the joint venture is a multi-tenant edge Secure SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solution designed specifically for the air transport industry. SITA has its roots in providing connectivity to the air transport industry and has for decades remained a provider of cutting-edge connectivity to airlines and airports.
The new partnership combines the best of both companies into a single solution. Versa Networks, a US-based enterprise, has rapidly emerged as a market leader in SASE and Secure SD-WAN, with Gartner rating the company as among the top three providers globally.
Martin Smillie, Senior Vice President, SITA Communications & Data Exchange said, “As a longstanding industry partner trusted with bridging more than 60% of the air transport community’s data exchange, we are proud to introduce the next generation of SDN technology. The current volatile economic environment requires that airlines adjust to passenger peaks and troughs, wherever they want to fly. In Versa, we have found a tried-and-tested partner with market-leading technology to support the complex requirements specific to the air transport industry. We look forward to helping our customers reap the benefits.”
