CET Teleport signs new deal with SES for Ku-band capacity

CET Teleport and SES expand their business partnership once again with a new three-year agreement for NSS-12 Ku-band capacity linking Europe and East Africa. CET has identified a growing demand for satellite services in the region, and the East Africa beam has proven to be considerably popular among operators and end-users.

With this new development, CET has now accomplished its goal of having the African continent covered with C- and Ku-band. The teleport is already delivering services on the Ku-band South Africa beam of NSS-7. Services on both satellites are delivered as SCPC links or via CET’s iDirect Evolution hubs at its Hameln teleport.

The African region continues to be one of the fastest growing markets for VoIP connectivity and satellite broadband for commerce, government and individuals in urban areas, where infrastructure development has not kept up with demand, as well as rural areas which have not been served properly in the past.
