Luxembourg-based satellite provider SES today announced the launch of a new satellite data network, SES Plus, which will offer differentiated offerings of satellite architecture and customised products to confront evolving market trends.
SES will be partnering its geostationary (GEO) widebeams and upcoming HTS payloads with O3b Networks and its medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites to provide solutions to a variety of needs within data markets. SES reported that it will also be continuing its investment in ground infrastructure with a view to ensuring easy accessibility in space.
The company's first Plus product, entitles Enterprise+ Broadband, was launched across five markets in Africa last November. It provides a connectivity platform with a plug and play offering, with pay-as-you-go options to ensure the service can go live quickly.
"SES is a leading video satellite operator, but our expertise goes beyond providing services to video customers," commented Ferdinand Kayser, Chief Commercial Officer at SES. "Our new data network, SES Plus, highlights the strengths of SES as a data satellite operator. We go beyond building a new ground infrastructure and new satellite architecture of GEO, MEO and HTS beams, to deepening collaboration with our customers to design customised and differentiated products that will enable them to excel in their markets. The first Plus product is already out in the market, and already we are hearing positive feedback about how this high-speed broadband platform is essential to the countries in which we are operating. That aside, our teams are working around the clock to develop more much-needed customised products to deliver more connectivity."
