SES New Skies, has announced that the Partnership Venture of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) and Numix Engineering, has contracted 5 Mhz of transmission capacity on the NSS-6 satellite at 95 degrees East to launch two-way Ku-band broadband services targeting Malaysia and other countries in South East Asia.

TM is Malaysia's leading next generation communications provider and broadband champion, and offers a comprehensive range of communication services and solutions in broadband, data and fixed-line.

Numix Engineering was established to provide local expertise involved in the supply and system integration of high technology products, and the provision of their associated specialised engineering and support services to complement the high growth areas of broadcasting (radio and TV), telecommunications (satellite and terrestrial - fiber optics, or microwave), multimedia, defense and other related high-tech industries in Malaysia.

Mr. Abdul Razak Bin Mohd Noor, Managing Director of Numix, said: " Numix Engineering as system integrator for TM's two-way Ku-band satellite broadband service will be responsible for the capital investment, transponder leasing, installation and operation of hub and remote terminals.

In return, TM will provide sales and marketing support to the Numix managed services on NSS-6. We look forward to a mutually beneficial collaboration between TM, SES New Skies and Numix."

Dato' Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, Group CEO, TM said : "This strategic collaboration will benefit the users of TM Internet services, as the VSAT Ku-band will offer affordable communication that is capable of providing voice, fax, data and high speed broadband connectivity nationwide, especially in remote areas not covered by TM's fixed infrastructure. In addition to that, this partnership will enhance the utilization and growth of TM's future aspirations in the domestic market, in terms of broadband internet penetration."

States Elias Zaccack, Vice President of Sales Asia Pacific at SES New Skies: "NSS-6 is the ideal broadband multimedia satellite for Asia, and we look forward to working with TM and Numix Engineering to provide businesses and homes with state-of-the-art satellite broadband services in Malaysia and beyond - irrespective of the geographic location and notwithstanding the availability of terrestrial networks."

NSS-6 provides first class connectivity for Asia and the world and reaches markets from the Mediterranean Sea to Japan from the single orbital position of 95 degrees East, taking in the whole of Asia, Australia, Southern Africa and the Middle East.

The satellite delivers Direct-To-Home power and performance, as well as the best inter-regional connectivity in the satellite industry, making it ideal for video distribution and broadband networks.

NSS-6 is the ideal broadband multimedia satellite for Asia and can interconnect with the SES New Skies global fleet of high-performance satellites, which can provide onward transmission of signals across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans to markets in the Americas.
