Loral Cyberstar has established an Indian Ocean Region (IOR), with headquarters in Bangalore, India, to provide service and support for the carrier’s customers in the region.

The new region’s territory includes the Indian subcontinent, central Asia and East Africa.

“As an established company, with long-term relationships in the countries within the Indian Ocean Region, Cyberstar recognizes that the growth of IT and Internet services here demands a local presence,” said Neil Bauer, president of Cyberstar.
