Global satellite operator Intelsat announced on Thursday it is expanding its partnership with Hispasat’s teleport operator and satellite services provider Axess Networks to provide satellite communications services throughout the Americas.
Under the new partnership – which is part of a larger renewal agreement with Axess – the two companies will collaborate to provide full-coverage multi-satellite services across the Americas by leveraging the satellites and assets of Intelsat and Hispasat.
Guido Neumann, GM for Axess EMEA, said the partnership will enable both companies to provide seamless and reliable connectivity tailored to the client’s needs
“We are proud to work together to enhance the customer experience and provide top-tier connectivity to our clients,” Neumann said in a statement.
In the Americas, Axess operates teleports in Mexico and Colombia, as well as an alternative teleport in Peru. Hispasat – which acquired Axess in 2022 – currently has ten geostationary satellites covering all of the Americas, with a control centre in Rio de Janeiro. Intelsat has around 20 geostationary satellites covering central and South America.
“This agreement reaffirms our commitment to delivering seamless, reliable solutions just as we do today and into the future,” said Rhys Morgan, RVP for EMEA sales at Intelsat.
