Pan European satellite broadband Internet Service Provider (ISP) EuropaSat has signed an agreement with SES Broadband Services, affiliate of SES, a world-leading global satellite operator, to offer its Ka-band satellite internet service in the UK and across Europe.

EuropaSat, which has already begun marketing the new packages, will offer a full range of ground based services for new customers wanting fast broadband within the SES Broadband Services Ka-band footprint. These include online ordering, pre- and post-sales support, logistics and maintenance, all directly via the EuropaSat.com website, and through its channel of 300 resellers and marketing partners. SES Broadband Services will in turn deliver all the space, network and hub operations for the services.

EuropaSat focuses on independence and impartiality in the satellite broadband market, offering up to 20 Mbps broadband to homes and businesses that cannot access high speed internet via traditional wired networks, through a variety of satellite based alternatives.

The brand, which is a part of global satellite business Satellite Solutions Worldwide Ltd, is currently integrating the SES Broadband portfolio and within weeks will offer secure, online, real-time provisioning for both customers and resellers, something unique in the current market.

“The new partnership with EuropaSat is great news for us and customers alike,” said Patrick Biewer, Managing Director of SES Broadband Services. “Our Ka-band solution exceeds average terrestrial broadband download speeds by quite a margin and is also very competitively priced. This is the second ISP to begin offering services using capacity from one of our birds over the UK. It will be the underserved consumer who will benefit the most.”

EuropaSat is based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK, from where it will offer demonstrations (try-before-you-buy), sales, as well as technical and customer services for the full SES Broadband portfolio.

EuropaSat Managing Director, Andrew Walwyn said: “Our mission as a company is to deliver the widest range of quality broadband and offer alternatives via satellite so that our customers always have the best solution to be connected, wherever they are in Europe, and whatever their user profile.

“Our partnership with SES Broadband Services comes at a truly exciting time, with the further extension of the SES Broadband high-speed Ka-band service across Europe.

“As a pan European satellite ISP, we felt that our own portfolio wasn’t complete without SES Broadband being on board, and we’re delighted to shake hands on this important partnership,” concluded Walwyn.
