SES NEW SKIES, an SES company [Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG], is teaming with SeaMobile’s Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) product group for extensive field tests of new, miniaturized VSAT antennas. The companies will test two new 60cm VSAT antennas: the heavy-duty “Ruggidized” for fishing, work boats and oceangoing support vessels; and the lighter “Sure Lock”, which at less than 90lbs, addresses more specifically the sailing, yachting and power boat markets. Both antennas use iDirect Spread Spectrum technology, allowing for small-sized, lightweight antennas, which are effectively shielded against adjacent satellite interference. SES NEW SKIES is providing Ku-band capacity for the Spread Spectrum Technology demonstrations on its NSS-7 satellite at the orbital location of 338° E—The Hague, The Netherlands & Seattle, Washington
