Intelsat to Leverage Etisalat Infrastructure as IntelsatOne Flex
Comes to Region
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE:I), operator of the world’s first Globalized
Network and leader in integrated satellite communications, and
Etisalat UAE, a leading telecommunications services provider
in the Middle East & Africa, today detailed their plan to
expand the distribution of Intelsat EpicNG services in the
Middle East region.
Under a multiyear expansion, Etisalat will upgrade its network
to deliver higher performance to customers in the region using the
Intelsat 33e high-throughput satellite. Concurrently, Intelsat will
leverage Etisalat’s teleport in Dubai as an expansion node of the
IntelsatOne Flex service. The teleport acts as an extension to
Etisalat’s Smart Hub services. Equipped with the latest
technologies and platforms, it serves as one of the globe’s major
satellite hubs, hosting more than 40 antennas. This will expand
options in the region to benefit from award-winning Intelsat EpicNG
high-throughput services.
“This agreement with Intelsat will introduce a new level of
cooperation to our long-term relationship,” said Ali Amiri, Group
Chief Carrier & Wholesale Officer, Etisalat. “Leveraging the
innovative Intelsat EpicNG platform and IntelsatOne Flex managed
services, we will be able to deliver new, more powerful
applications to our current customers as well as address new
verticals.”
“Intelsat sought to build upon its already strong relationship
with Etisalat as we developed our global footprint for the
IntelsatOneFlex managed broadband service,” said Kurt Riegelman,
Intelsat’s Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “Etisalat
will be an important distributor of Intelsat EpicNG services and
capabilities for customers throughout the Middle East and into
Africa and Asia. Intelsat’s innovations, including Intelsat EpicNG,
are unlocking new opportunities for our customers and distributors.
Our expanded relationship with Etisalat will result in new
applications as well as better services for customers throughout
the region.”
