Belgacom Switches to Intelsat For Internet Connectivity
London - Nov 27, 2003 Intelsat announced Tuesday the signing of a new multi-transponder agreement with Belgacom, the leading Belgian telecom operator that recently moved onto Intelsat's global satellite network, to provide high-speed Internet access to ISPs in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Belgacom's C- and Ku-band service, using six 72-MHz units of Intelsat capacity, is already operational and is designed to provide a high-quality and reliable way for ISPs operating in terrestrially underserved areas of these regions to access the Internet. Belgacom is utilizing a 32 meter C-band antenna from Lessive teleport in combination with Intelsat space segment to expand its reach and strengthen penetration of the Eastern European and Middle Eastern Markets. Yuli Wexler, Regional Vice President, Europe Sales for Intelsat's Data, Carrier & Internet unit, stated, "We won this contract because Intelsat's capacity and flexible solutions can be tailored to fit the exact requirements of our customers. "The ability of Intelsat to move, change or adjust our network, as needed, is a significant advantage in a market where other providers don't necessarily have the freedom to adjust their networks to accommodate service requests."
