Space Norway and Allente have signed a landmark agreement to secure and provide long-term satellite capacity from the 1° West orbital position to viewers in the Nordic territory—this partnership is set to significantly enhance communication infrastructure and service delivery across the region.
The long-term collaboration between Space Norway and Allente is based on powerful and inter-satellite diversification, using Thor5, Thor6, and Thor7 satellites. Following the expansion to the newly announced Thor8 program, the parties have agreed to continue their successful relationship.
This agreement marks a pivotal moment in our efforts to expand and optimize satellite services for Nordic audiences”, said Ole Ledang, Director of Broadcasting Division at Space Norway. “Supported by a dynamic and technically advanced encoding system and satellite uplink infrastructure at Nittedal Teleport, Space Norway provides reliable, flexible, and secure long-term solutions for Allente’s DTH platform.”
Jon-Espen Nergård, CTO of Allente, said, “This agreement secures the capacity we need to keep delivering the TV experience our customers expect. A reliable, high-quality service, available everywhere in the Nordics, whether in cities, small towns, or the most remote locations. Allente will continue to provide uninterrupted access to the content people love today and for many years to come.”
