The SES ASTRA <=> Eurosat Connection


SES ASTRA has signed a reseller agreement with the satellite equipment distributor Eurosat for the marketing and sales of its satellite based interactive broadband service ASTRA2Connect. Eurosat will market the service under its brand name BeyonDSLin the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

Eurosat, a developer and supplier of satellite TV and consumer electronics based in the United Kingdom, is targeting thousands of British households that are unable to access terrestrial DSL or cable networks and will offer download rates of up to 2Mbps. ASTRA2Connect was launched in early 2007 and is now available in 11 countries throughout Europe. Marketed via wholesalers and Internet service providers to the residential market, ASTRA’s fully satellite-based solution for broadband access is a service that offers a highly reliable, always-on, two-way broadband internet access, including internet telephony, for flat service fees. The customer premises equipment — a modem and a satellite dish — is low cost and delivered with a tool for easy self-installation.
