Luxembourg – Global satellite communications provider Pactel has broadened its partnership with SES via a multi-year capacity deal on NSS-6. Under the new capacity expansion deal, Pactel will utilise multi-transponder capacity on two SES satellites — NSS-9 at 183 degrees East and NSS-6 at 95 degrees East.

Pactel, a longstanding SES customer, will use the additional capacity to expand its voice and data service offerings within the Pacific region, enabling it to provide remote businesses across Australia, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste with access to reliable and affordable connectivity.

“Pactel has enjoyed tremendous success in overcoming geographic challenges to offer reliable broadband access to businesses in the region. We are pleased to have found a solution with NSS-6 for Pactel’s growing business needs and that we are able to continue playing a key role in connecting the remote businesses in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Deepak Mathur, Senior Vice President Commercial, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at SES.
