Leveraging its global satellite fleet to meet growing requirement for connectivity everywhere, SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES, a division of SES S.A. (Paris:SESG)(LUxX:SESG), informed at the CommunicAsia conference that IoGlobal has signed a multiyear agreement to create a new DVB IP platform on the NSS-11 satellite to keep NATO troops in Afghanistan connected with friends and family back home.
IoGlobal’s new Asia 9 platform on the China beam of SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES’ NSS-11 satellite provides more than 70 Mbps of satellite-delivered streaming voice, data and video services to military forces stationed in and around Kabul, Afghanistan. The solution expands on the growing, long-term relationship between IoGlobal and SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES across three satellites and delivers a broad offering of mission-critical satellite-based services ranging from broadband to video streaming into the South Asian region.
“This latest agreement between IoGlobal and SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES reinforces our service commitment to the Middle East and regions around the world, as the two companies deliver multiple SCPC, VSAT and DVB service platforms over our NSS-703, NSS-6, and NSS-11 spacecraft,” said Deepak Mathur, Vice President of South Asia and the Middle East for SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES. “IoGlobal and its team of dedicated professionals operate in extremely challenging environments and SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES is proud to play an integral role in enabling IoGlobal to meet the vital communications needs of troops serving in Afghanistan.”

The ongoing process of production, moving and launching satellites is now underway with Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), [Nasdaq:LORL], a provider of commercial satellites that shipped a communications satellite built for SES WORLD SKIES, to Kourou, French Guiana, to launch later this year aboard an Ariane 5 launch vehicle. SES WORLD SKIES is a subsidiary of SES [Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange:SESG].
“This marks the completion of our first satellite built for SES,” said John Celli, president and chief operating officer at Space Systems/Loral. “We are pleased that the Space Systems/Loral powerful satellite platform will contribute to SES’ ongoing success in providing services to some of the world’s fastest growing markets.”
NSS-12, which will be the largest satellite in the SES WORLD SKIES fleet, is designed to enable communications services for telecommunications providers, broadcasters, corporations, and governments in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Australia and Central Asia. NSS-12 will replace NSS-703 at the orbital location of 57 degrees East longitude and will help offer substantial expansion opportunities for its clients.
“NSS-12 marked the beginning of our relationship with SS/L,” said Robert Bednarek, president and chief executive officer of SES WORLD SKIES. “SS/L has been very responsive to our needs throughout the construction of this satellite and we are pleased that the completed satellite is now at launch base. We look forward to a successful launch.”
NSS-12 carries 40 C-band and 48 Ku-band transponder equivalents. Two hemispheric C-band beams covering Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia to Australia are used for applications such as telephony, cable distribution and corporate networks. This coverage is augmented by a powerful C-band global beam spanning from the UK to the Far East. The satellite will also provide Direct-to-Home video through four regional Ku-band spot beams over the Middle East, Europe, Central and South Asia, and East Africa. With the combined C- and Ku-band coverage, the satellite will reach an estimated two-thirds of the world’s population.
NSS-12, which will deliver service for 15 years or more, is based on SS/L’s 1300 space-proven platform, which is designed with the flexibility to support a broad range of applications and technology advances. Space Systems/Loral currently has three additional satellites under construction for SES.

SES World Skies, a division of SES, announced Netcom Africa has signed a multi-year deal to expand its delivery of telecom and broadcast television services throughout Nigeria and West Africa.
Under the latest in a series of agreements between the two companies, Netcom will augment its existing capacity utilizing multi transponders on Ku-band; this will enable Netcom to meet requirements for its broad range of telecom and broadcast television services among businesses, universities and customers in cities and towns across the West African nation of Nigeria and beyond.
