Solaris Pleased With Decision For S-Band Process
Paris, France (SPX) May 15, 2009 Solaris Mobile is very pleased to confirm that it has today received confirmation from the European Commission of the assignment of 2 x 15 MHz of S-Band spectrum across Europe. The assignment will entitle the company to use this commercially attractive and unique spectrum across the European Union. Steve Maine, CEO, Solaris Mobile said: "We are delighted with the spectrum award which marks a critically important milestone for innovative mobile satellite services in Europe. We welcome the European Commission's efficient handling of a very complex procedure, and now look forward to obtaining our national authorisations as soon as possible. The announcement today will act as a catalyst to promote our vision of providing enhanced mobile services in Europe. Supported by Solaris Mobile, content providers will be able to broadcast crystal clear live TV, deliver linear and on-demand content e.g. location-based services, video or radio channels to mobile phones, vehicles, iPods, portable video players, game consoles and other handsets, on land, at sea and in the air. By introducing this brand new infrastructure and technology for mobile solutions, Solaris Mobile will be a cost-effective, flexible and unrivalled catalyst for reshaping the mobile landscape all over Europe.
Solaris Mobile Statement on S-band Payload Additional analysis is consequently planned with the satellite's prime contractor, Thales Alenia Space, in order to identify the cause of the anomaly and fully to assess the extent of the S-band payload's capability to provide mobile satellite services to the European marketplace. Solaris Mobile remains confident of its ability to meet the commitments made according to the European Selection and Authorisation Process, under which it has applied for S-band spectrum to provide these services. The company is evaluating a range of options to compensate for this situation and expects to make further announcements in due course. Share This Article With Planet Earth
