MTN signed an agreement with NewSat to enhance satellite coverage and throughput for MTN customers in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The agreement expands C- and Ku-band satellite coverage in those regions “and puts MTN in a strategic position for future service launches, including Ka band,” MTN said in a news release (http://bit.ly/1ch4xYb). The maritime markets served by MTN’s network are growing in vessel count and in demand, it said. MTN plans to add efficiencies to its network, it said.
