As part of the agreement, SES and RCSC will build an in-country
gateway in the Almaty region that will allow Kazakhstan-based
companies to quickly deploy and leverage O3b mPOWER’s high-speed
and low-latency network connectivity for customer applications and
offices, as well as partake in the governmental digital inclusion
programmes. The gateway will also enable delivery of services to
other bordering countries in the region, including Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Launching in Q4 2022, O3b mPOWER is a satellite communication
system located in the medium earth orbit (MEO) with a vast service
offering. One key service available in Kazakhstan in 2023 is SES’s
Trunk mPOWERED, which will enable customers to extend their core
networks with uncontended, multi-gigabit services quickly.
“As we expand our partnership with SES, we are proud to open
Kazakhstan to new high-speed connectivity solutions via satellite.
Our joint expertise and understanding of opportunities in the
country allows us to offer satellite-enabled services that will
bring new technologies and growth for businesses across
Kazakhstan,” said Malik Zhuiriktayev, Chairman of the Board of JSC
RCSC.
“Transforming the digital landscape for business across the
globe is one of the key mission pillars of the O3b mPOWER system.
We are very excited to further strengthen our partnership with RCSC
and jointly introduce high-throughput and low-latency
satellite-enabled services to Kazakhstan,” said Steve Collar, CEO
of SES. “O3b mPOWER is a unique NGSO system – local businesses will
have guaranteed access to reliable and high-speed networks,
whenever and wherever they need it, allowing them to flexibly and
swiftly address the changing connectivity demands of their
customers.”
The latest agreement highlights the deepening of the partnership
between SES and RCSC to evaluate and bring NGSO capabilities to the
country. In 2021, both companies conducted demos connecting remote
villages in Kazakhstan using SES’s first-generation O3b satellites,
setting record-breaking speeds via satellite recorded in the
country (380Mbps downlink and 120Mbps uplink). Additionally, SES
also organised a series of 3G and 4G demos with leading mobile
network operators, such as Kcell, proving O3b mPOWER’s ability to
easily expand local networks with satellite-enabled
connectivity.
