Orbitcom and SES expanded a partnership to include the delivery of a satellite broadband service in Germany. Astra Connect “uses a single antenna to provide an entire community with a satellite broadband connection, which is then distributed via a local network infrastructure,” SES said Thursday in a news release (http://bit.ly/1uKgpWH). Users served by the networks will be able to browse the different packages offered online “and then place orders through a dedicated website and webshop set up by Orbitcom,” it said. The ISP also will be responsible for the delivery of the equipment and customer support, SES said.
