Telekom Malaysia (News - Alert) Berhad and Numix Engineering have come together to develop 5 MHz of transmission capacity on the NSS-6 satellite at 95 degrees East in a bid to launch two-way Ku-band broadband services for Malaysia and other countries in South East Asia.

 

"Numix Engineering as system integrator for TM's two-way Ku-band satellite broadband service will be responsible for the capital investment, transponder leasing, installation and operation of hub and remote terminals,” said Mr. Abdul Razak Bin Mohd Noor, Managing Director of Numix.

 

“In return, TM will provide sales and marketing support to the Numix managed services on NSS-6. We look forward to a mutually beneficial collaboration between TM, SES NEW SKIES (News - Alert) and Numix."

 

TM is Malaysia's next generation communications provider and offers a comprehensive range of communication services and solutions in broadband, data and fixed-line.

 

Numix Engineering provides local expertise involved in the system integration of high technology products, and the provision of their associated specialized engineering and support services to complement the high growth areas of broadcasting (radio & TV), telecommunications (satellite & terrestrial - fiber optics, or microwave), multimedia, defense and other industries in Malaysia.

 

"This strategic collaboration will benefit the users of TM Internet services, as the VSAT Ku-band will offer affordable communication that is capable of providing voice, fax, data and high speed broadband connectivity nationwide, especially in remote areas not covered by TM's fixed infrastructure,” said Dato' Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, Group CEO, TM. “In addition to that, this partnership will enhance the utilization and growth of TM's future aspirations in the domestic market, in terms of broadband Internet penetration."

 

NSS-6 provides superior connectivity for Asia and the world and reaches markets from the Mediterranean Sea to Japan from the single orbital position of 95 degrees East, taking in the whole of Asia, Australia, Southern Africa and the Middle East. The satellite delivers Direct-To-Home power and performance, as well as inter-regional connectivity in the satellite industry.
