The Hague, Netherlands and Miramar, FL - September 19, 2007: SES NEW SKIES, an SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG), is teaming up with SeaMobile’s Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) product group for extensive field tests of new miniaturized VSAT antennas, which will enable an array of satellite-based communications services for small vessels.

SeaMobile and SES NEW SKIES will test two new 60cm VSAT antennas, that set new standards with respect to size and weight of VSAT installations: the heavy-duty “Ruggidized” for fishing, work boats and oceangoing support vessels, and the lighter “Sure Lock”, which at less than 90lbs addresses more specifically the sailing, yachting and power boat markets. Both antennas use iDirect Spread Spectrum technology, allowing for small-sized, lightweight antennas which are effectively shielded against adjacent satellite interference. SES NEW SKIES is providing Ku-band capacity for the Spread Spectrum Technology demonstrations on its NSS-7 satellite at the orbital location of 338° East.

States Richard A. Hadsall, CTO for SeaMobile’s Maritime Telecommunications Network product group: ”These miniaturized VSAT antennas will now provide small vessel users with “always on, always available” access for phone, fax, data and internet services. As an optional service the antennas can also provide live television via the same small 60cm antenna, real time GSM cellular telephone services, or a complete portfolio of passenger and crew welfare service offerings.”

States Scott Sprague, Senior Vice President Global Sales of SES NEW SKIES: “Small-sized and light-weight VSAT antennas open up completely new markets for small vessel broadband connectivity, be it for professional use, navigation support, safety services or pure leisure/entertainment. The SES NEW SKIES global satellite fleet is particularly well positioned to support communications on the move, be it maritime, land- or air-based.”
