SES announced yesterday that it has extended its contract with Telekom Serbia for another four years for satellite services from SES's ASTRA 3C satellite at 23.5 degrees East. This renewal reinforces a successful collaboration that began in 2011 with a first capacity agreement and expanded in 2018 with the launch of Telekom Srbija's DTH platform, M:Sat TV.

Under the agreement, SES will continue providing multi-transponder capacity to enable Telekom Srbija to deliver an SD and HD pay-TV channel offering across Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia as part of its M:Sat TV platform. The agreement also includes uplink and backup services for transponders and redundant fiber connectivity for the entire platform.

“This comprehensive agreement with Telekom Serbia reinforces our position as an important satellite provider in the Balkans,” said Norbert Hölzle, Global Head of Media at SES. “Telekom Serbia's continued trust in our services demonstrates the enduring value of our satellite services and our ability to deliver premium content to audiences across a wide geographic area.”

“The extension of our relationship with SES ensures we can continue delivering high-quality entertainment to our subscribers across the region,” said Katarina Subotić, Chief Sales Officer at Telekom Serbia. “Their proven track record of reliable service delivery, combined with their dedicated sales and marketing support, makes them an ideal partner as we continue to grow our DTH platform.”
