SES To Debut Ka-Band Service In Germany

One of the world's leading satellite operator, SES, announced last March 3rd that starting the second half of 2013, it will offer its satellite broadband service, SES Broadband, with download speeds up to 20Mbps in Germany. According to the report in the company website, "The enhanced service will become available once the Ka-band capacity on SES’ ASTRA 2E satellite is operational."

Marketed by SES's wholly-owned subsidiary SES Broadband Services to Internet Service Providers, the service is "designed for end users in remote locations all over Germany" and, according to the said company report, will provide a highly competitive broadband offering with performance features comparable to terrestrial broadband services.

SES's Ka-band expansion to Germany is the next step in the company's strategy to offer its customers an ever-higher quality of service.

Managing Director of SES Broadband Services, Patrick Biewer said, “We are delighted to offer download speeds of up to 20 Mbit/s to end users in Germany in the course of this year. We are convinced that the highly competitive new offering will satisfy consumers and help us in our endeavour to further expand our offer throughout Europe.”
