Wateen Telecom has signed a three-year multi-million dollar agreement with Spacecom International, the world's foremost provider of satellite and telecommunication services. Under the US $11.3 million multi-transponder agreement, Wateen will provide Spacecom with Ku-band and C-band satellite bandwidth for Pakistan, as well as Asian region served by the Asian broadcasting satellites ABS-7 and Intelsat IS-904.
The C-band is a name given to certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, including wavelengths of microwaves that are used for long-distance radio telecommunications. The C-band is primarily used for open satellite communication, whether for full-time satellite TV networks or raw satellite feed. Ku band is primarily used for fixed and broadcast services over satellite. Ku band satellites are used for back-hauls and particularly for satellite from remote locations back to a television network's studio for editing and broadcasting.
The agreement brings great value to Wateen, as it will enable the telecom giant to provide a variety of telecommunications services, including GSM back-hauling, high-speed Internet, news gathering, disaster recovery and data connectivity to regions where no other connectivity media is available.-PR
