Tring Communications, a subsidiary of Albanian Satellite Communications (ASC), one of the leading television and telecommunications service providers in Albania, is strengthening its established relationship with Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) through the signature of a distribution contract for the Tooway™ consumer broadband service. The Tooway™ contract was signed with Skylogic, Eutelsat’s broadband affiliate.

In addition to expanding its portfolio of digital services with a satellite broadband offer, ASC’s Tring Communications has renewed and expanded its capacity on the W2 satellite with a multi-year contract signed with Eutelsat for broadcasting its Tring Digital pay-TV platform. Launched last year from Eutelsat’s 16 degrees East neighborhood for the Balkan region, Tring Digital offers satellite homes in Albania the opportunity to access 22 channels, including Tring’s flaghip channels Tring Serial, Tring Super and Tring World. Tring Digital already serves 30,000 homes and has a target in 2010 to expand with 50,000 additional subscribers.
