Telenor Doubles Teleport Services With New Skies
The Hague (SPX) Jul 16, 2004 New Skies Satellites has signed a new agreement with Telenor Satellite Services, to expand its teleport gateway services out of New Skies' Perth, Australia mediaport. The agreement virtually doubles Telenor's teleport services through New Skies, expanding and enhancing their capability to provide mobile communications services throughout the Indian and Pacific Ocean regions. New Skies hosts a variety of VSAT hubs and communications circuits through the Perth facility, supporting primarily the oil, mining and mobile communications sectors. The company has provided teleport services to Telenor since 1999. This new agreement enables Telenor to expand its suite of leased and on-demand services available to users on land and at sea throughout both ocean regions. "During the past five years, New Skies and Telenor have teamed to provide reliable, responsive and well-engineered teleport services from Telenor via the Perth mediaport," said Tore Hilde, chief executive officer of Telenor Satellite Services. "This new agreement with New Skies enables Telenor to solidify and expand our high-speed data and telephony remote communications offerings to service providers and customers throughout both the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean regions." "We are pleased to help Telenor grow their services out of Perth. They have always worked closely with us to help engineer and implement premium teleport solutions, and we are committed to their continued growth," said Chris Schram, vice president of network engineering and operations for New Skies. "This latest agreement demonstrates their trust in the expertise of our teleport staff and the reliability and quality of our services." In February 2004, Telenor and New Skies announced a 10-year agreement for capacity throughout the Pacific Ocean with access to Internet, voice and data communications.
