Eutelsat Seals Distribution Agreement With RG Networks, Making Satellite Broadband Available Via KA-SAT Across Hungary

PARIS, May 9, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Eutelsat Communications, (Euronext Paris: ETL), one of the world's leading satellite
operators, today announced a distribution agreement between its Skylogic subsidiary and RG
Networks, enabling RG Networks to benefit from Eutelsat's KA-SAT High Throughput Satellite
and advanced user equipment to deliver broadband to businesses and consumers across
Hungary. RG Networks, a subsidiary of the Hungarian IT specialist RG Hungary, launched
services via KA-SATin Hungary at the beginning of this month under the 'vanNET' brand.

    RG Networks' set ambition is to respond to the Hungarian government's commitment to
provide fast Internet for all citizens by end 2013, in line with the European Union
Directive. RG Networks is commited by this time to connecting more than 2,000 users with
satellite broadband via KA-SAT, delivering download speed up to 10Mbps and upload speeds
up to 4 Mbps.

    Szabolcs Lengvarszky, COO of RG Networks, commented: "With this new agreement we now
have the key to immediate access to the highest quality satellite broadband service for
homes and businesses in Hungary. With KA-SAT, we are positioned to provide nationwide
coverage and can accelerate the pace of broadband roll-out."

    "Our KA-SAT satellite and new-generation user equipment are the ideal broadband
service for Hungarian customers, particularly in more rural and difficult to reach areas
of the country. We are delighted to work with RG Networks to help Hungary achieve the
target of broadband for all," said Achille De Tommaso, CEO of Skylogic.

    With its total capacity of more than 70 Gbps, Eutelsat's KA-SAT satellite has ushered
in a new era of competitively-priced, satellite-delivered services for homes and
businesses across Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. The satellite forms the cornerstone
of an infrastructure, which also comprises eight main satellite gateways connected to the
Internet by a fibre backbone ring.
