NEWTOWN, Conn. - SES and Milano Teleport have signed a capacity and ground satellite infrastructure deal to provide connectivity to Mario Zucchelli, the Italian research station located at Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica, managed by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA).
Ground infrastructure services at the SES teleport in Adelaide and satellite capacity on SES's NSS-9 satellite located at 183° East will be used to provide data and voice services to ensure the team of Italian scientists remains connected to their families and research institutions back in Italy.
Deliveries of satellites under SES' capital expenditure program will continue through 2014. SES plans to increase its company-wide fleet of satellites from 40 satellites at the start of the program to about 50, representing a 28 percent increase in the number of transponders in orbit. Many of the new satellites will be deployed in regions of the world where demand for satellite capacity is growing rapidly.
