SES’ partner NordNet has developed a new on-demand satellite broadband offering for which it contracted Ka-band capacity on Astra 2F.
The solution, which is based on SES Broadband Services’ technology, provides download speeds of up to 20 Mbps for second and holiday homes in France and is being marketed in the country.
An on demand internet access service called Satellite Internet Tempo, it costs €3 a month, for which customers can order an internet pass for €2.99 a day.
Patrick Biewer, MD of SES Broadband Services, said: “We are happy that NordNet is again pioneering satellite broadband services in Europe, offering the first on-demand satellite-based internet service for second residences and holiday homes in France.
“We are convinced that this new offering, with its Triple Play features, is a complete solution that responds to currently unserved needs in the market.”
Francis Piet, CEO of NordNet, added: “Thanks to the efficiency and the versatility of the Broadband by Satellite solution, we can offer innovative solutions which answer specific needs. And with a partner like SES at our side, we really feel the sky is the limit!”
