Service Provider Launches Ello Service for Fishing, Leisure and
Coastal Vessels
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.”
