LUXEMBOURG & MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 8, 2019--
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE:I) and Aldea Solutions Inc. announced today that the
two companies have entered into a peering relationship to expand
satellite and fiber video contribution and distribution networks for
media customers globally. This agreement will also leverage both
companies’ extensive presence in Latin America.
As a means to provide easier access for content programmers to
Intelsat’s premier media distribution platforms, Intelsat and Aldea are
extending their combined infrastructure and footprint. Through the
partnership, Intelsat will further expand the reach of its IntelsatOne
terrestrial network via Aldea’s international fiber network, adding
connectivity to media locations in 35 cities, as well as connections to
premium content programmers. In turn, Aldea will have access to
Intelsat’s video neighborhoods which house approximately 5,400 channels
and reach 508 million households worldwide.
Bill O’Hara, Intelsat’s General Manager, Media, stated, “At Intelsat,
our broadcasters’ and programmers’ needs come first. By providing direct
access to Intelsat’s premier satellite distribution platforms through
Aldea, content programmers will have an easier path to widen their
viewership and monetize their content.”
Lionel Bentolila, Aldea CEO, added, “The premier quality of service we
provide to media customers around the world has been the principal
driver of our success. This new relationship with Intelsat reinforces
