CETel GmbH, the German teleport and satellite service provider, has acquired the Managed Services Division of ND SatCom.

This acquisition allows both companies to concentrate on their core competencies to provide customers with a best-in-class end-to-end solution. ND SatCom offers strong system integration capabilities based on its core technologies and products, while CETel extends the offering with service elements of a network operator and service provider. In particular, CETel will now operate additional SkyWAN and SkyARCS networks. The migration of all involved services and personnel will be finished by end of May 2009. For future projects, both companies will continue to cooperate intensively to serve their customers with turnkey, end-to-end communication network solutions. CETel and ND SatCom have been working together on several projects since CETel’s foundation in 2004, mostly in the Middle East and Africa.
