Telefonica taps Eutelsat KA-SAT for Internet by satellite in Europe


In a recently-announced agreement, Telefonica Global Solutions will be using Eutelsat Communications' KA-SAT satellite to deliver Internet by satellite broadband services to European carriers.

KA-SAT will enable Telefonica to offer a new selection of Internet by satellite services. The new solutions can match the reliability and prices of existing terrestrial broadband services in Europe.

In addition, KA-SAT allows Telefonica to reach rural areas or urban belts that usually lie outside the coverage of land-based networks. The Company's Internet by satellite broadband services can also serve as fully diversified backup solutions for areas that do have access to terrestrial networks.
