Intelsat and Telkom collocate satellites in broadband collaboration deal

Intelsat and PT Telkom Indonesia have entered into a collaboration agreement designed to provide options as the companies explore new opportunities to serve a region with expansive needs for broadband connectivity.

Under the new, multi-year agreement, Telkom has relocated the Telkom-2 satellite to Intelsat’s 157° East orbital location, where it will be co-located with Intelsat 5. This move allows Telkom to efficiently manage its satellite fleet while expanding its use of Intelsat services to complement Telkom’s network. The two satellite operators will also analyze the potential to expand services at 157° East.

The future is rural for telecom operators: Speedcast 

In order to differentiate, telecoms operators must address the trend of bringing connectivity to remote locations, said Stephane Palomba, VP of Global Cellular Services at Speedcast during a presentation at CommunicAsia2017.

Palomba described the growth opportunities presented by recent improvements in VSAT technology, including cellular backhaul capabilities, and the rise of LEO and MEO satellite constellations.
