Slovak Telekom renews Intelsat contract

September 9, 2022 10.54 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

Intelsat has signed a multi-year renewal for a managed service and network extension with Slovak Telekom.

The agreement provides Slovak Telekom with a robust managed solution to deliver content from Bratislava to Intelsat’s Fuchsstadt teleport in Germany where it is distributed to millions of homes. The solution consists of space capacity on the 1West neighbourhood, IntelsatOne fiber, and uplink services.

Commenting on the development, Rhys Morgan, Intelsat vice president and general manager, EMEA Media and Networks, said: “This agreement and network upgrade demonstrates Intelsat’s commitment to providing Slovak Telekom with the world-class, managed solutions they need to distribute quality video to viewers across Central and Eastern Europe”.

Marcel Satanek, senior manager for TV and Entertainment Unit, Slovak Telekom, added: “Intelsat’s managed solution enables us to focus on the needs of our end customers and on providing the strongest channel line-up in the region, rather than managing an extensive, complicated network”.

Intelsat has been providing Slovak Telekom with services since 2012.

The 1West neighbourhood is a multi-satellite solution distributing content to cable operators, IPTV head-ends and directly to millions of homes (DTH).

The top five DTH platforms in the region are located on 1West, along with leading international programmers, and 1West reaches more than 9 million viewers across its footprint.
