The Hague, Netherlands, July 25^th, 2007 - SES NEW SKIES, an SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) today announced the launch of GSM backhaul services for Telikom Papua New Guinea on its NSS-5 satellite. Under a five year contract, Telikom PNG uses 36MHz of bandwidth on the NSS-5 spacecraft at the orbital location of 183° East.

NSS-5 is SES NEW SKIES’ principal connectivity satellite for the Pacific Ocean Region. The powerful spacecraft is one of the few satellites that can connect North America with all major destinations in the Pacific Rim. NSS-5 also provides optimal coverage of Oceania and its numerous islands.

Telikom PNG is the premier operator of voice and data services in Papua New Guinea, one of the most diverse countries on Earth, with over 850 indigenous languages and at least as many traditional societies, out of a population of just under 6 million.

The NSS-5 satellite capacity will allow Telikom PNG to expand its GSM services into new regions and provide telephone services over challenging mountainous terrain by providing GSM backhaul between a large number of sites around the country back to the capital Port Moresby.

States Scott Sprague, Senior Vice President Global Sales of SES NEW SKIES: “The ubiquitous coverage of the NSS-5 satellite allows Telikom Papua New Guinea to significantly increase its GSM service area across the rugged geography of Papua New Guinea. SES NEW SKIES is proud to assist the country’s premier telecommunications provider to offer vital communications services to widespread, mainly rural populations and across terrains that make it difficult to develop even basic transportation infrastructures.”
