SES has signed a multi-year, multi-transponder agreement with MNC Sky Vision, Indonesia’s leading satellite pay-TV provider.
Under it, the Luxembourg-based company will provide Indovision, MNC Sky Vision’s brand, with access to Ku-band capacity on SES-7 at 108.2 degrees East to support a future Chinese-language DTH package. Use of the capacity by Indovision is subject to regulatory approval.
Commenting on the agreement, Rudy Tanoesoedibjo, CEO of MNC Sky Vision, said: “We see continued growth in the pay-DTH market in Indonesia and are delighted to be able to leverage SES’ global network and deep industry expertise to broadcast more content to meet the diverse needs of our subscribers in Indonesia.”
Deepak Mathur, senior VP Commercial, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at SES, added: “The increasing maturity of the Indonesian pay-DTH market requires pay-TV operators to react swiftly in meeting the demands of different audience segments, as Indovision has done with the new Chinese-language pay-DTH offering.
We are pleased to be the satellite operator of choice for Indovision and look forward to supporting Indovision’s fast and robust growth strategy in this important market.”
