SES And Nuevatel To Reach New Bolivian Mobile Markets
Washington DC (SPX) Jun 02, 2009 With its broad coverage across Latin America, SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES has announced at the ITW conference in Washington, D.C. that Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia has signed a three-year agreement for satellite-delivered GSM backhaul to extend its mobile phone and public telephony services into rural and remote villages and communities across Bolivia. As part of the deal, Nuevatel is tapping 12.1 megahertz of Ku-band capacity aboard the NSS-7 satellite to offer its popular VIVA mobile phone and public telephony services beyond the big cities of La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba into isolated and unconnected communities like Antahuagana. "By using the reach of the SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES NSS-7 satellite, Nuevatel is extending precious cellular connectivity into many of Bolivia's most remote towns and villages, which can benefit greatly from their newfound communications capabilities," said Dolores Martos, Vice President of Latin America and Caribbean sales for SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES. "We are honored to be working with Nuevatel, as one of Bolivia's largest mobile phone service providers creates new opportunities and connectivity for both residents and businesses throughout some of the most remote regions of the country." "GSM backhaul delivered over the NSS-7 satellite is enabling Nuevatel to break through traditional cost and geographical barriers to effectively and efficiently offer cellular service in the most rural and hard to reach areas of Bolivia where terrestrial services cannot go," said Leonardo Saunero, Vice President of Regulations, Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia. "GSM backhaul is an application that increasingly demonstrates satellites' powerful capabilities to expand networks. Nuevatel has moved to SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES satellites for their proven reliability and reach."
