Strategic Agreement with Gigaclear plc

Strategic sales and marketing agreement with Gigaclear plc

 

Satellite Solutions Worldwide Group plc (AIM:SAT), the satellite broadband provider that trades in Europe under the Europasat brand, is pleased to announce a strategic sales and marketing agreement with Gigaclear plc. ("Gigaclear"), the institutional investor funded pure fibre-to-the-premises telecommunications operator.

 

This agreement will see SSW and Gigaclear working together to identify and serve the large numbers of properties across the UK that cannot currently access fibre or fast broadband. SSW fully supports Gigaclear's innovative plans to deliver pure Fibre To The Premises ("FTTP") to communities that wouldn't otherwise benefit from gigabit fibre technology.

 

As part of the agreement, SSW will offer its super-fast satellite broadband solution to communities that have been identified by Gigaclear as suitable areas to build their FTTP network, whilst they wait for it to be installed. Additionally, Gigaclear will refer customers to SSW in those areas that have been identified as needing a faster broadband solution, but haven't been confirmed to date as suitable location for Gigaclear to deploy their solution. SSW is the first satellite broadband ISP in Europe to offer a 'fibre guarantee', a facility whereby satellite broadband customers can easily cancel their contract when pure fibre broadband arrives at their premises.

 

SSW CEO Andrew Walwyn said: "It is exciting to be working closely with Gigaclear. Any project that enables us to reach more people effected by the 'digital divide' and to give them better options has got to be great news for consumers. Our partnership is all about identifying those who lack a super-fast broadband solution and getting them connected quickly and cost effectively.

 

"The UK Government has recently identified that up to 245,000 households will end up with 2 Mbps broadband or less once the BT led fibre-to-the-cabinet roll out is complete. Working together with Gigaclear we stand a great chance of providing those affected with a quick and permanent solution to their broadband dilemma."
