SES announced that with the provision of enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity in
Dili, TT and SES Networks will continue to empower local communities in
Timor-Leste with access to faster mobile data and broadband
connectivity, meeting the evolving and fast-growing connectivity needs
of Timor-Leste residents.
Timor Telecom has been using SES Networks Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
services for the past few years for international connectivity. The
low-latency and high throughput service has enabled Timor Telecom to
launch 3G mobile followed by LTE (News - Alert) mobile data service in the country. In
addition, the SES Networks' Cstomer Enablement team has been providing
consulting services to TT on its Wi-Fi rollout.
Manuel Capitão Amaro, CEO at Timor Telecom said, "Through SES's O3b MEO
satellite fleet, we are delivering services that significantly enrich
connectivity experiences throughout the country. In Dili, public spaces
are an important intersection at which people from all walks of life
gather and interact. We are glad to be able to deliver much needed
quality Wi-Fi for these different communities."
Imran Malik, Vice President, Fixed Data, Asia-Pacific at SES Networks
said, "Connecting our customers and local communities is at the heart of
what we do. We are proud to support Timor Telecom in its continuous
elevation of its service offerings, bringing reliable, fibre-like
connectivity to local residents and communities within the country.
Through the low latency, high-speed connectivity enabled by our MEO
satellite network, connectivity in public spaces throughout the capital
