March 06, 2014

The CETel Group (Central European Telecom Services) announces a further cooperation with the leading satellite operator in MENA Arabsat to expand the existing solution portfolio by providing high‐quality solutions on Arabsat‐5C in Extended C‐Band.

Jointly Arabsat and CETel will deploy an additional 9.3m Antenna at the CETel Teleport facilities near Cologne/Bonn pointed towards Arabsat 5C at 20° East. The infrastructure expansion will enable CETel to provide individual solutions with high demands for pricing, reliability and bandwidth: Extended C‐Band allows for cost‐effective solutions while maintaining the high quality Arabsat and CETel are recognized for. Especially for networks and trunking connections requiring high amounts of bandwidth, e.g. for ISPs and Telecommunication Companies in Africa and the Middle East, CETel designs tailored end‐to‐end solutions on Arabsat 5C in extended C‐Band.

The announced cooperation for new services is part of Arabsat’s and CETel’s long lasting strategic partnership. Their shared goal is to provide high‐quality solutions for satellite based communications worldwide today and beyond.

“We are proud to once again partner with Arabsat to extend our portfolio. The increasing demand for satellite capacity and internet connectivity with high bandwidths, not only in the Middle East but also in Africa, clearly shows the need for cost‐effective communications solutions. CETel is able to provide such solutions worldwide and the new services on Arabsat 5C in Extended C‐Band fit perfectly for our customers,” said Martin Terlunen, Managing Director of CETel Germany.

“CETel is a trusted and distinguished partner for Arabsat. This is why we decided to cooperate with them to increase our global presence with services on Extended C‐Band. Our customers trust CETel’s experience and value their high quality services and solutions”, added Khalid Balkhyour, President & CEO at Arabsat.
