Hispasat To Sell Capacity On atrexx

SPACEMART

Hispasat has three satellites in orbit (1A, 1B and 1C), with a total of 54 equivalent transponders that offer a large capacity for services to telecommunication operators and broadcasting companies in Europe, Northern Africa and America. The Spanish operator currently invests in new satellites that will enhance customer loyalty and increase the service offering to new markets, mainly to Latin America. Over the coming years, Hispasat is set to launch two new communications satellites in the 30� and 61� West orbits: The Hispasat 1D is set to be launched in September 2002 in the 30� West orbit. What is to be the fleet's fourth satellite is in an advanced stage of construction and shall provide the system with 28 new Ku band transponders with European, American and transatlantic connectivity. This will make it possible to offer services to the market segment from which the greatest demand increase is expected. The Latin American satellite, Amazonas, is programmed for launch on the new 61� West orbit. It shall provide coverage with transatlantic and Pan-American capacity for Europe, Northern Africa and America.

Madrid - Apr 5, 2002
Hispasat, the Spanish satellite communications company and atrexx, a leading telecommunications exchange and consulting agency, signed today a contract for the marketing of Hispasat's satellite capacity.

With this agreement, Hispasat takes advantage of atrexx' broad experience and knowledge of the telecommunication, operator and broadcasting market and strengthens its international expansion, particularly in Europe.

atrexx adds a highly attractive offer to its portfolio of resources and professional services.

Under the terms of the agreement, Hispasat co-operates with atrexx to promote the use of Hispasat's space segment throughout its coverage, in particular the use of "Occasional Use Capacity", referring to capacity that is used for hours or days. Such capacity is marketed, sold and booked directly by atrexx. For any type of other Hispasat capacity atrexx performs as an agent between Hispasat and the customer.

Advantages to the customers are manifold: atrexx has an in-depth knowledge of Hispasat's products and can offer its customers an attractive alternative to conventional occasional use solutions.

As atrexx' professionals have a proven track record in consulting and project management, the customer deals only with one business partner, able to offer a turn-key-solution for all the requirements.

In addition customers normally can discuss their projects in their mother tongue with atrexx' professionals originating from several European nations and speaking English, German, French and Dutch.
