SES To Expand Intersat Internet Service in Eastern Africa

Intersat and SES signed a multiyear contract to expand Intersat’s internet service offerings to eastern Africa, SES said in a news release Wednesday. ISP Intersat uses Ku-band capacity on SES' NSS-12 satellite to serve more than 200 very small aperture terminals, with that number more than doubling by 2016 under the deal, the companies said.
