(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SES (Paris:SESG)(LuxX:SESG) and SkyGate, an internet service provider in the Middle East, announced today that they have signed a five year contract for the distribution of SES’ successful satellite broadband service SES Broadband, formerly known as ASTRA2Connect, in the Middle East.
SkyGate markets SES Broadband to end customers and businesses in the region, offering download speeds of up to 10 Mbps using the ASTRA 3B satellite at the 23.5 degrees East orbital position (view the satellite's footprint at: http://www.ses.com/4628740/astra-3b).

We see growing demand for connectivity coming from this region and with SkyGate we will be able to offer reliable broadband access to businesses and individuals that have so far been lacking internet connection,” said Ferdinand Kayser, Chief Commercial Officer of SES.
Ashraf Hajjaj, CEO of SkyGate, said: “The Middle East region is one of the fastest growing markets and we are delighted to cooperate with SES and profit from its expertise to further grow our business. We are looking forward to extending the service with SES to increase the satisfaction of our current and future customers.”
