Eutelsat's Tooway(TM) Satellite Broadband Service Attracts New Business in the Ukraine With Eurosat-Ukraine
PARIS and KIEV, Ukraine, July 13, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) today announced the
signature of a distribution contract for the Tooway? broadband service
between its Skylogic subsidiary and Eurosat-Ukraine. Eurosat-Ukraine is an
affiliate of Altegrosky, a leading provider of satellite-delivered telecoms
services in Russia and CIS countries. The new contract between Skylogic and
Eurosat-Ukraine covers distribution to consumers in the Ukraine of the
Tooway? new generation satellite broadband service, which is delivered via
Eutelsat's KA-SAT satellite.
With Tooway? packages enabling users to benefit from download speeds
of up to 10 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 4 Mbps, Eurosat-Ukraine can now
offer fast and immediate Internet access to users across the Ukraine.
Leveraging Altegrosky's extensive experience of providing traditional VSAT
solutions in Russia, with 6 500 terminals already deployed, the company
plans to focus on rural areas and areas with poor ADSL and mobile broadband
coverage. Over 10 million households in the Ukraine's rural and suburban
areas are not served by any Internet access, representing a significant
addressable market.
Celebrating the partnership with Eutelsat, Sergey Pekhterev General
Manager of Altegrosky, said: "Our newpartnership with Skylogicand Eutelsatis
a powerful new platform for expanding our range of services and
increasingthe efficiency of the solutions we offer.Our objective with our
joint effort is totackle the problem of white spots by offering the speed
and performance of Tooway? to households across the Ukraine."
Arduino Patacchini, CEO of Skylogic responded: "The selection of
Tooway? by Altegrosky, an expert in satellite-based telecom networks,
highlights the confidence of our partners in the new KA-SAT broadband
infrastructure. We look forward to developing Tooway? service growth in
Eastern Europe with Altegrosky and Eurosat-Ukraine, and believe that the
performance and affordability of our new-generation satellite broadband
services will contribute to rapidly reducing digital exclusion for
individuals deprived of high-speed Internet access."
The new generation Tooway? service is provided by Eutelsat's KA-SAT
satellite which went into full commercial service in May. With its total
throughput of more than 70 Gbps, KA-SAT is a wireless broadband
infrastructure designed to deliver fast, effective and affordable IP
applications to users across Europe and the Mediterranean Basin.
