CET Teleport snags SES Ku-band capacity deal, completes coverage of Africa


Thanks to a recently-signed three year contract with SES for Ku-band capacity on the NSS-12 satellite, CET Teleport will be able to link East Africa with Europe, granting it complete coverage of the African continent on both C-band and Ku-band.


CET expanded its partnership with SES in order to accommodate growing demand for satellite services in East Africa. The Company currently leverages the Ku-band South Africa beam of the NSS-7 satellite.

The NSS-7 and NSS-12 satellites enable satellite services that are provided as SCPC links or through one of the iDirect Evolution hubs at CET's satellite Teleport facility in Hameln, Germany.

Africa remains one the swiftest growing markets for satellite broadband and VoIP connectivity. Urban areas have not been able to develop enough infrastructure to handle the increasing demand from government, commerce, and individual consumers while rural areas had previously been unable to access proper services and now want in on connectivity.
