Telefonica
del
Peru
has
signed
a
three-year
deal
for
nearly
a
full
transponder
of
satellite
capacity
to
extend
its
reach
to
corporate,
cellular
and
residential
customers
in
remote
areas
of
Peru.
Telefonica
del
Peru
is
using
33
megahertz
of
capacity
aboard
the
NSS-10
satellite
to
deliver
corporate
voice
and
data
solutions
as
well
as
broadband
and
mobile
phone
services
to
businesses
and
consumers
in
Peruvian
towns
and
communities,
many
that
are
virtually
inaccessible
via
terrestrial
networks.
The
use
of
GSM
backhaul
over
satellite
is
also
enabling
Telefonica
del
Peru
to
extend
the
capabilities
of
its
metropolitan
networks
to
remote
locations,
effectively
eliminating
the
geographical
barriers
and
prohibitive
costs
of
the
past.
“Using
the
reach
of
SES
AMERICOM-NEW
SKIES’
reliable
NSS-10
satellite,
Telefonica
del
Peru
is
offering
seamless
corporate,
cellular
and
residential
communications
services
between
major
cities
like
Lima
and
Puerto
Maldonado
in
Peru,”
said
Carlos
Flores
Ganoza
,
Network
Planning
Manager
for
Telefonica
del
Peru.
“Increasingly,
satellite-delivered
voice
and
data,
GSM
backhaul,
broadband
and
mobile
phone
services
are
opening
the
door
to
newfound
communications
capabilities
and
business
opportunities
in
rural
mining
and
farming
villages
that
were
once
out
of
touch.
We
have
turned
to
the
leading
satellite
and
operator
in
the
region
to
help
us
make
the
most
of
this
exciting
evolution
for
our
business
and
our
customers.”
“When
Peru’s
telecommunications
leader
taps
the
leading
satellite
over
South
America,
great
things
are
bound
to
happen
for
businesses
and
consumers
across
the
region,”
said
Dolores
Martos,
Vice
President
of
Latin
America
and
Caribbean
sales
for
SES
AMERICOM-NEW
SKIES.
“Together
Telefonica
del
Peru
and
SES
AMERICOM-NEW
SKIES
are
bridging
the
communications
gap
for
the
people
of
Peru,
regardless
of
where
they
live
and
where
they
do
business.”
