+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Multiemedia Limited (MUL) has executed an agreement for the provision
of Network Facilities from IP Access International and Space Segment
from NewSkies Satellites.
The Space Segment agreement is significant and remains in effect for
5 years. It provides access to the US$650 million NSS6 satellite
built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems and is equipped
with 50 Physical Ku-band transponders. The satellite will operate
from NewSkies new orbital slot of 95 degrees East Latitude across six
coverage beams: Australia, the Middle East and Southern Africa, the
Indian subcontinent, China, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.
The comprehensive high-power Ku-band coverage of NSS6 allows for
video, data, internet, and other broadband transmissions throughout
Australia, while also offering seamless connectivity between the
Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
NSS6 is capable of delivering digital video distribution and
contribution services, satellite newsgathering, Intra-and
Inter-regional enterprise networks, Government services,
direct-to-home platforms, telephony transmissions, as well as a
multitude of IP-based multimedia applications, including two-way
broadband internet access for businesses, e-learning, telemedicine
and digital cinema.
In conjunction with ViaSat, a world leader in advanced digital
satellite telecommunications and wireless signal processing
equipment, MUL and NewSkies plan to be in a position to provide
Australian Corporations and SME's with long term, cost effective
broadband solutions for a multitude of heavy duty business
requirements.
The arrival today of Satellite Engineers from US based Advanced
Projects and IP Access International will ensure that a backlog of
customer orders can be fulfilled. Testing, trialing and
demonstrations will occur until systems are live on approximately 18
August 2003. The Engineers will also work closely with the Australian
based Microsoft team to ensure a smooth and successful launch of the
Microsoft Services Providers Licensing Program (SPLA) [refer to ASX
Announcement RE: Microsoft, 4 June 2003].
MUL plans to deploy a full transponder in its first 12 months of
operations. A transponder will service the average needs of about
4,000 customers and has the potential to generate up to $100 million
of revenue.
