[Via Satellite 09-20-13] CETel and SES have renewed a multi-year deal and also signed a new multi-transponder capacity deal to provide services to meet the escalating demand for VSAT services and corporate networks in the Middle East. Under the new contracts, CETel will be leasing 80 MHz capacity on SES’ NSS 12 satellite to extend its VSAT networks for corporate and governmental networks across the region.

CETel, a teleport and satellite service provider serving the Middle Eastern, African and European regions, offers dedicated VSAT services for corporate and governmental networks and GSM backhaul services, as well as hub hosting and managed solutions, from their teleports. Its teleport is headquartered in Germany, with affiliate offices in the United Arab Emirates.

“CETel was one of our first NSS 12 customers back in 2008. With this latest agreement, it reinforces our long-standing partnership with them and is a testament to the reliability of NSS 12’s high-powered capabilities,” said Simon Gatty Saunt, vice president of data & mobility services at SES.
