SeaMobile and SES NEW SKIES Test New Miniaturized VSAT Antennas for Maritime/Mobile Use

SES NEW SKIES, an SES company (Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG), is teaming
up with SeaMobile's Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) product
group for extensive field tests of new miniaturized VSAT antennas,
which will enable an array of satellite-based communications services
for small vessels.

SeaMobile and SES NEW SKIES will test two new 60cm VSAT antennas,
that set new standards with respect to size and weight of VSAT
installations: 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(degree) East.

States Richard A. Hadsall, CTO for SeaMobile's Maritime
Telecommunications Network product group: "These miniaturized VSAT
antennas will now provide small vessel users with "always on, always
available" access for phone, fax, data and internet services. As an
optional service the antennas can also provide live television via the
same small 60cm antenna, real time GSM cellular telephone services, or
a complete portfolio of passenger and crew welfare service offerings."

States Scott Sprague, Senior Vice President Global Sales of SES
NEW SKIES: "Small-sized and light-weight VSAT antennas open up
completely new markets for small vessel broadband connectivity, be it
for professional use, navigation support, safety services or pure
leisure/entertainment. The SES NEW SKIES global satellite fleet is
particularly well positioned to support communications on the move, be
it maritime, land- or air-based."
