Last
week, SES announced that its SES Broadband Services will be providing
satellite broadband services to the participants of the ARTES
(Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems) initiative of the
European Space Agency (ESA.)
The
ESA has set its sights on boosting the competititveness of the
European satellite industry. Its ARTES initiative will promote
satellite functions and services in aviation, broadcasting, data
relay, multimedia and mobile communications, and search and rescue
operations. These promotions will encourage European companies to
create new satellite broadband applications.
To
support this ESA initiative, SES Broadband Services will provide
participating companies with preferential rates for its satellite broadband services on two satellites: The Astra-3B platform, which
serves Europe and the Middle East, and the Astra-4A satellite, which
covers sub-Saharan Africa.
