SingTel Expands Relationship With Loral Skynet Through New Capacity Leases
Bedminster NJ (SPX) Jan 14, 2005 Loral Skynet last Thursday announced that it has renewed an agreement with Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), Asia's leading communications group, to distribute video, data, telecommunications and VSAT services on Loral's Telstar 10 satellite. In addition, SingTel has agreed to lease a full C-band transponder on Loral's new Telstar 18 Asian satellite. "Loral Skynet's satellite coverage gives SingTel the tools it needs to expand its reach across Asia," said Patrick Brant, president, Loral Skynet. "Skynet is focused on increasing its service offerings in this important region of the world where demand for satellite communications to and from the US and other regions remains strong." Telstar 10, located at 76.5 degrees East longitude, and the recently launched Telstar 18, located at 138 degrees East longitude, are powerful Space Systems/Loral-built 1300 satellites whose combined coverage area stretches from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, across Central Asia through the Indian sub-continent, to China, Korea, Japan, South East Asia, Australia and Hawaii. In addition to hosting intra-regional applications, Loral also offers highly reliable and low cost "one-hop" connectivity to and from the US mainland through its earth station in Hawaii dedicated to Telstar 18. SingTel is Asia's leading communications group with operations and investments around the world. With significant operations in Singapore and Australia (through wholly owned subsidiary SingTel Optus), it provides a comprehensive portfolio of services that include voice and data services over fixed, wireless and Internet platforms.
