Orange
Business Services has renewed and expanded a satellite capacity
contract with SES
(NYSE Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) to support its
growing network connectivity needs in the Russian Federation.
The Ku-band capacity leased by Orange Business Services will be hosted
on the high-powered NSS-12 satellite located at 57 degrees East,
enabling the company to continue to provide a suite of top quality
communications services to businesses across the Russian Federation. The
increase in satellite capacity will allow Orange Business Services to
provide point-to-point as well as corporate network connectivity
covering significant parts of Siberia, particularly to satisfy growing
demand from mobile operators.
Vladimir Valkovich, director of Technical and IT Departments, Orange
Business Services in Russia and CIS, said: “Our long-lasting partnership
with SES has run parallel to our continued growth in the Russian market.
Reliable connectivity, especially when it comes to remote and wide
geographical areas like Siberia, is of vital importance to our
customers’ businesses. Partnering with SES helps us to ensure we meet
our customers’ expectations and further strengthen our leading position
as international communication and integration services provider in the
business-to-business sector.”
“Orange Business Services is one of our longstanding customers with
multi-transponder capacity in both C- and Ku-band, and we are pleased
that our collaboration over the years has enabled it to tap the Russian
market with competitive services,” said Deepak Mathur, senior vice
president, Commercial Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, who is also
responsible for Data and Mobility services at SES. “The last decade has
seen a steady increase in connectivity demand in the region, and we are
delighted to continue to provide flexible and reliable solutions
tailored to the growing needs of our customers.”
