Ground infrastructure services at the SES teleport in Adelaide and satellite capacity on SES's NSS-9 satellite located at 183 degrees East will be used to provide data and voice services to ensure the team of Italian scientists remains connected to their families and research institutions back in Italy.
"Due to the extreme weather conditions in Antarctica and the location of Mario Zucchelli, it is of utmost importance that we select a partner which is reliable and can ensure vital communications 24/7," said Umberto Gallo, CEO at Milano Teleport. "Having worked with SES since 2009 where we have been leasing capacity for broadcasting services as well as data and voice services, we are confident that SES is an ideal partner that can deliver the connectivity in even the most unfavorable weather conditions."
