enables
users
to
operate
secure,
scalable

in
rural
and
isolated
regions
areas.

to

the
confidence
of
Singtel
following
its
consultation
of

with
a
reference
telco

Asia.
Thanks
to
the
orbital
position
and
footprint
of
the
EUTELSAT
70B
satellite
it
is
in a
strong
position
to
serve
diverse
South-East
Asia
markets
that
include
corporate
networks,
video
distribution
to
cable
headends
and
cellular
backhaul.
As
part
of
Eutelsat‘s
global
fleet
it
also
connects
to
the
rest
of
the
world.
Satellites
are
a
vital
infrastructure
in
fast-developing
Asian
markets
and
we
are
delighted
to
increase
our
participation
in
this
growth."
