SES announced that CompuDyne has signed a multi-year, multi-transponder
agreement to lease Ku-band capacity on SES-9, SES's largest satellite
dedicated to serve Asia-Pacific, for its customer Digi, the country's
leading mobile network operator.
Making a shift from a C-band to Ku-band system, CompuDyne can now
deliver more cost-effective and reliable satellite connectivity,
enabling Digi to extend its cellular network to underserved consumers
residing in rural areas and in the far reaches of Malaysia. At the same
time, Digi also plans to use the capacity to introduce mobile broadband
services and packages for an increasingly connected population.
"Providing affordable and reliable mobile services is a must to stand
out amid a competitive operating environment. In the eastern and western
pars of Malaysia, there is incredible growth in mobile broadband usage
today from both business and consumers. Utilising Ku-band capacity on
SES-9, our customers have the opportunity to tap into this rising demand
and offer improved services and greater value for end-users," said Dato'
Mohd Hanafiah A Jalil, Managing Director at CompuDyne.
"With SES-9's high-powered and comprehensive Ku-band coverage over
Malaysia, the satellite is ideal for providing cellular backhaul
services. We are proud to partner with CompuDyne to not only expand its
reach to deliver unmatched coverage within the country, but also to
transform its mobile services with greater reliability and affordability
for their customers' and consumers' connectivity needs," said Imran
Malik, Vice President, Fixed Data, Asia-Pacific at SES Networks.
