Satellite Services, a leader in providing satellite solutions, and O3b Networks are working together to provide high-quality internet bandwidth for Digicel across Papua New Guinea. The company contracted capacity on SES’ NSS-9 satellite and O3b’s Medium Earth Orbit fleet.
The multi-year agreement will allow Digicel, a fast growing mobile phone network provider, to utilize the O3bTrunk service and the C-band capacity of SES’ NSS-9 satellite at 183 degrees East. This will continue to provide high-quality voice and fast mobile data services to Digicel’s customers all over Papua New Guinea.
SES Chief Commercial Officer Ferdinand Kayser released a statement elaborating on the aspects of the company’s new deal with Digicel:
"As a long-term partner of Digicel, we understand their business needs and are pleased to meet them again by collaborating with O3b Networks. The contract with Digicel is a fine example of how geostationary and Medium Earth Orbit satellites complement each other to offer a unique connectivity solution. The comprehensive coverage of the NSS-9 satellite, coupled with the high throughput and low latency offered by the O3b constellation, will enable Digicel to provide reliable and cost-efficient cellular network services to their customers in Papua New Guinea."
Echoing the remarks of Mr. Kayser, O3b Networks CEO Steve Collar said: "Digicel is an innovator in mobile services in the Pacific region. O3b is pleased to support their ongoing innovation with a cost-effective solution to extend coverage with O3b's high capacity, low latency satellite transport.”
“We at Digicel are continually looking to ensure the best possible customer experience by innovating and delivering the best technology to our customers across the Pacific region,” Digicel CEO John Mangos said in a statement. “We look forward to working with SES and O3b Networks to expand our network capacity to service our growing customer base in Papua New Guinea.”
