Intelsat S.A. says that Spain-based Global IP, a provider of satellite communications for maritime, energy and corporate customers, has signed multi-year agreements allowing it to provide broadband service to its maritime customers in the Indian Ocean region. Global IP will use capacity on Intelsat 22 at 72° East, Intelsat 702 at 33° East, and the IntelsatOneSM terrestrial network to introduce advanced mobility services.

Global IP will collocate its DVB-S2 high-throughput platform at Intelsat’s teleport in Fuchsstadt, Germany, enabling access to the IntelsatOne infrastructure and Intelsat’s satellite fleet. The agreements enable Global IP to introduce worldwide Ku-band maritime services to oil and gas customers, as well as energy providers, in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

“These agreements add multiple strategic beams to our global network that are highly optimized for advanced mobility applications in the Indian Ocean region,” said Jesus Barber, general manager for Global IP. “Collocating our hub in Fuchsstadt gives us access to IntelsatOne and the world’s largest satellite fleet, enhancing and extending our services to our oil, gas and maritime customers.”
