Entertainment Company (STECCOM), Russia’s major
satellite communications operator and leading developer
of VSAT-based communication systems, will elevate the
passenger and crew inflight connectivity (IFC)
experience across the Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS) region and Europe by utilizing SES satellite
capacity and associated services via SES Networks,
announced SES today.
Under the agreement, STECCOM will leverage a
high-capacity, global managed services platform built on
an open architecture. SES Networks global mobility
solution will enable the service provider to customise
and efficiently distribute bandwidth, adapting their
offerings according to the needs of commercial passenger
aircraft and business jets operating on their network.
Additionally, STECCOM’s customers will benefit from
high-speed, high-throughput connectivity.
Also, SES Networks and STECCOM will use each other’s
ground facilities, opening up opportunities for enhanced
connectivity across Europe, Russia and Central Asia.
This ground infrastructure is key in ensuring efficient
delivery of bandwidth to meet the rising demand for
high-quality IFC services in this dynamic market.
“With this agreement STECCOM is positioning itself to
extend its aeronautical network throughout Europe and is
able to create opportunities for future reach beyond
this geographical area,” said Oleg Kuts, CEO at STECCOM.
“Our partnership with SES Networks gives us access to a
multi-band, multi-orbit aero platform, which allows us
to offer differentiated solutions.”
“Passengers today expect to have quality connectivity
when they are up in the air, just like they do when they
are at home,” said Elias Zaccack, Executive Vice
President, Global Sales, at SES Networks. “SES Networks
is delighted to be supporting STECCOM in its ambition to
reliably deliver the highest quality of connectivity and
elevate the travel experience for air passengers in
Russia and adjoining markets, and to help airlines in
