InterSat Partnership Extension

Located at the 70.5 degrees East orbital position, Eutelsat 70B offers wide beam coverage and four high-performance fixed beams, with a high degree of on-board connectivity. As the joint statement said, the partnership extension highlights the role of VSAT services delivered through powerful, geostationary capacity to reach remote areas.

Commenting on the agreement, InterSAT said: “We are delighted to be able to rely on Eutelsat capacity once again to support our growth ambitions in Africa, home to some of the world’s most remote and underdeveloped regions which represent a challenging environment for building terrestrial communication networks. Leveraging our VSAT service expertise and our teleport infrastructure, we are able to use satellite communication to deliver reliable and cost-effective connectivity to remote and underserved areas while assuring a high-end user experience for our customers.”

Eutelsat said InterSAT is its long-standing partner and it will accompany the further rollout of its services in Africa, connecting more people and businesses.
