Executive Comments
Guido Neumann, the Managing Director of CETel, said that the company is happy to sign this cooperation and the CETel team will put full efforts in bringing life into this agreement. The region of Turkmenistan is of particular interest as it carries vast amounts of mineral resources. Also, Turkmenistan with the desert of Karakum, which covers 80 percent of the country, necessitates rural communications based on satellite.
Batyr Orazdurdyyev, Acting Director of Türkmen Hemrasy added that this cooperation will further strengthen the firm's powerful coverage in the region by offering CETel’s customer base attractive payloads for their projects, especially in the mineral resource sector. Further to that, in CETel, the firm has found an industry-known Teleport that has been awarded for excellence multiple times and the company will now realize coverage for many large scale projects for multi-national customers.
