NSS-703 orbits at 57 degrees East while NSS-12 is scheduled to be launched into this orbital position in the third quarter of 2009. KT, a Korean telecom operator, has deployed a dedicated 32 meter uplink antenna to access the new SES Americom-New Skies satellite at its Earth Station in Boeun, Korea.
Chang, Sang Ku, Director of KT, said, "The coverage and power of the NSS satellites provide us with an excellent opportunity to help our Korean customers to connect to their operations in Africa and the Middle East through one single satellite hop."
Elias Zaccack, Vice President of Sales Asia Pacific at SES Americom-New Skies said, "Our satellites have been specifically designed to support our customers' connectivity needs in the target regions. NSS-12 with its cross-connectivity transponders is ideally suited to support our cross-regional requirements. We are pleased to add KT to the list of prestigious customers on NSS-12, a new satellite which will be practically fully booked when it launches."
