June 2014
ST Teleport, and Eutelsat
Communications are combining their
expertise to respond to high user demand
for connectivity solutions for data and
video services in Asia. The two
companies have completed the
installation of a new gateway at ST
Teleport's Earth Station complex in
Singapore that connects to the EUTELSAT
70B Ku-band satellite, one of the most
flexible satellites serving Asian
markets and connecting to Europe and
Africa.
The new gateway is ready to serve data,
maritime, media and entertainment
clients across a high-performance
footprint spanning Southeast Asia,
including Myanmar, Indonesia, the
Philippines, Thailand and Australia, as
well as Southeast Asian waters. It can
also connect to the African and European
beams of the EUTELSAT 70B satellite that
has the unique ability to offer secure,
single hop connectivity between key
business hubs, such as Singapore and
Frankfurt or Singapore and Nairobi. For
even broader reach across the Asia
Pacific, ST Teleport also has the option
of tapping into the EUTELSAT 172A
satellite.
Joseph Chan, Managing Director of ST
Teleport, said: “ST Teleport is pleased
to partner with one of the premier
satellite operators to bring advanced
and secure satellite services over a
wider geographical coverage to our
customers. Through our strong earth
station expertise, particularly in Asia,
and Eutelsat's superior satellite
technological leadership, we aim to
bring a new level of high performance,
cost-effective connectivity solutions
and comprehensive coverage to customers
in this region."
Ken Loke, CEO of Eutelsat Asia, added:
"We are delighted to cement a
longstanding relationship with ST
Teleport and to see the new gateway in
Singapore further unleash the value of
the high-performance EUTELSAT 70B
satellite for maritime and land-based
services in nascent and developed
markets. This collaboration underscores
our objective to work with
industry-leading teleport operators to
deliver clients full service with the
most impeccable quality."
