SatLink Communications Ltd. and SES World Skies have launched a new DS3 fibre link connecting their teleport facilities.

p>SatLink Communications Ltd. and SES World Skies have launched a new DS3 fibre link connecting their teleport facilities.

The new link allows SatLink client's direct access to SES World Skies' U.S satellite fleet while also enabling SES World Skies to further expand the reach of its satellites covering Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
This collaboration strengthens the two companies decade-long relationship and is expected to bring additional business opportunities to both companies. For SES World Skies, the connection represents an additional means to extend the reach of SES' satellite fleet in the growing Asian, Pacific, African, Middle Eastern and European markets. SatLink, one of SES World Skies key teleport partners in the Middle East region, enhances its global distribution capabilities by linking its Israel-based teleport to the Americas through SES World Skies' satellite fleet and augments its world-wide transmission capacity and global fibre network.
"We started working with SatLink in 1999 as a teleport partner. They have since successfully expanded their connectivity though other partner teleports and now to our Washington Mediaport," stated Chris Schram, VP Platform Operations of SES World Skies. "This new link allows SatLink to expand its Video, Data and IP business links into the North American marketplace, while we benefit from a reliable and easily accessed path to SatLink facilities in other regions."
"We are once again proud to strategically expand our total global content distribution experience into the North and South American markets with SES World Skies. Through their Washington Mediaport in Manassas, VA, we can offer more links and connections for our non-American clients into those huge and diverse markets," remarked SatLink CEO David Hochner.
