Telenor Satellite Services is expanding a multi-year contract with Intelsat to include transmission services on three different spacecraft in C- and Ku-band, Intelsat announced March 6.

Telenor renewed its contract for its Sealink maritime high-speed data communications to use the Intelsat 903 and Intelsat 704 satellites for C-band capacity connectivity in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, respectively, and Ku-band capacity on the Intelsat 907 satellite for distribution above the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

Sealink utilizes Intelsat’s flexible geostationary satellite constellation in conjunction with Telenor Satellite Services’ gateways located around the world to provide always-on maritime VSAT services to the shipping and oil-and-gas industries. With Intelsat’s C- and Ku-band transmissions, Sealink can offer business and entertainment communications including crew and passenger telephony; radio contact; Internet access; video conferencing; large-volume data communications; and TV reception.
