Service Provider Launches Ello Service for Fishing, Leisure and
Coastal Vessels
LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2017--
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first Globalized
Network and leader in integrated satellite communications, announced
that Brazil’s Mareste Equipamentos e Serviços de Telecomunicação Ltda.
will use Intelsat satellite services to deliver communications solutions
for maritime customers.
Under a new, multi-year agreement, Mareste, a privately held company
based in Rio de Janeiro, will offer Ku-band communications services
delivered by the Galaxy 28 satellite for the leisure, fishing and
coastal sectors in Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Mareste
will package the satellite services with its Ello product, which
includes antennas and hardware, to provide a cost-effective satellite
communication system designed to serve smaller coastal and regional
vessels, where physical space for onboard equipment and budgets can be
scarce or limited.
“With access to Intelsat’s satellite fleet and services, Mareste will be
able to rapidly grow into a market that has traditionally been
underserved,” said Márcio Esteves, Mareste’s President. “These leisure,
fishing and coastal sectors traditionally have been forced to settle for
low-speed, expensive connections. With faster, more affordable broadband
connectivity, Ello will solve the communications challenges for these
customers, delivering a cost-effective satellite system that can be
easily and rapidly deployed on smaller vessels.”
“Satellites are delivering next generation broadband services to the
maritime sector. Intelsat is focused on simplifying the process of
acquiring the services and integrating them into existing operations,”
said Carmen González-Sanfeliu, Intelsat’s Managing Director, Latin
America & Caribbean, Sales. “Intelsat makes it easier to access
connectivity from across the Intelsat fleet, including the Intelsat EpicNG
platform and IntelsatOne Flex for Maritime service. For network
operators and service providers, Intelsat delivers accelerated time to
market, ensured availability and secure delivery of bandwidth.”
