New Skies Satellites has reached a long-term agreement with Latin American broadband service provider Impsat in Argentina to support a new two-way broadband Internet network using the NSS-7 satellite.

Impsat has deployed a new IP hub at its teleport facility in Buenos Aires to launch two-way, broadband Internet, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and virtual private network (VPN) services throughout Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and Brazil.

Dolores Martos, New Skies’ vice president of sales for Latin America, commented, “We are very proud to have been entrusted by Impsat to support their new IP hub and broadband services. This agreement pairs NSS-7, one of the most advance satellites serving Latin America, with the latest network technology, bringing cost-effective, high-speed broadband communications services to users anywhere in the region.”
