Intelsat Ltd. sold capacity on its IS-14 satellite to Juch-Tech Inc.

That will help Juch-Tech bolster its LinkStar service to Africa.

Juch-Tech signed a multi-year agreement with Intelsat for capacity at 315� E. Service initially will start on Intelsat’s IS-1R satellite and migrate to Intelsat’s IS-14 satellite, scheduled for launch later this year.

This agreement also includes assuming operations of Intelsat’s LinkStar and DVB platforms at 315� E.

Juch-Tech is a global service provider offering broadband communications services to North and South America, Africa and the Middle East.
