Internet Satellite JET Service now offered by SES for France

Leading French company Satellite Services (SES) announced on December 18 that it is now the first ever satellite operator to offer the satellite broadband service called Internet Satellite JET, with download speeds of up to 20 Mbit/s for customers in France, which will be immediately effective via NordNet -- France Telecom-Orange’s satellite broadband affiliate.

The newest service from SES utilizes Ka-band capacity on the SES Astra 2F satellite. Internet Satellite JET also offers VoIP telephony and High-Definition TV from 29.90 euros ($39.40) a month. NordNet uses new generation end-user terminals provided by Gilat Satellite Technologies.

In a statement, SES Broadband Services Managing Director Patrick Biewer said:

"SES is again pioneering satellite broadband services in Europe, being the first operator to offer equal features to terrestrial services and at a highly competitive price. We are convinced that the new Ka-band offer presents a great solution for users in remote locations and will significantly drive product sales in France."
