“SES has always been a key supplier to SpeedCast and is now developing into an important customer as well,” said Pierre-Jean Beylier, CEO of SpeedCast. “This two-way partnership is what we envision when dealing with key satellite operators. We understand the increasing demand of service requirements from operators like SES, and we have therefore invested heavily in our facilities. For example, we specifically set up an 11meter Ku-band antenna and other required infrastructure to support the new SES-9 satellite in the region.”
“We have been working with SpeedCast service for many years. Over the years, SpeedCast has been able to exceed our up-time and response requirements. We are confident that SpeedCast will provide the same outstanding services to us in coming years,” said Matthew Prange, Vice President, Strategic Teleport Partners & Services Delivery at SES.
