RIYADH, Dec. 7, 2006/Satnews Daily/ ― The Arab Satellite Communications Organization (Arabsat) and the Egyptian Satellite Company (Nilesat) have signed a strategic partnership agreement enabling Arabsat to establish a new "Arabsat Media Gateway (AMG)" from Cairo located in Nilesat's 6th of October City free zone area premises.
Engineer Khalid Ahmed Balkheyour, Arabsat’s president and CEO, and Amin Basyouni, Nilesat's chairman, have expressed their satisfaction on the agreement that will benefit millions of Arab viewers, considering it as a critical first step towards a further constructive and mutually beneficial cooperation.
Arabsat said the new Media Gateway will enable the company to provide the Egypt-based Broadcasters with direct access to a comprehensive range of video services such as uplink and turnaround onto Arabsat's 26°East 130 million viewers neighborhood, full digital platform management, as well as extensive content processing such as playout, store and forward, transcoding, etc.
As part of its strategic move towards getting closer to its customers' locations, this 9th AMG from Arabsat will complement the ones already serving the MENA region from Amman-Jordan, Beirut-Lebanon, Bonn-Germany, Dubai-UAE, Madrid-Spain, Riyadh-KSA, Sharjah-UAE and Tunis-Tunisia, the company said.
