[Via Satellite 06-17-2014] ST Teleport and Eutelsat completed a major step in their partnership to deliver connectivity solutions for data and video services in Asia with the completion of a new gateway at ST Teleport’s Earth station complex in Singapore, which connects with the Eutelsat 70B Ku-band satellite.

The new gateway will serve data, maritime, media and entertainment clients across a footprint spanning across Southeast Asia, serving Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Australia, as well as Southeast Asian waters. The gateway can also connect to the African and European beams of Eutelsat 70B, which provides secure, single hop connectivity between business hubs, such as between Singapore and Frankfurt, Germany or Nairobi, Kenya. ST Teleport also has the option to connect with the Eutelsat 172A satellite.
