Eutelsat Communications announced the signature of a distribution contract for the Tooway broadband service between its Skylogic subsidiary and Eurosat-Ukraine. Eurosat-Ukraine is an affiliate of Altegrosky, a provider of satellite-delivered telecoms services in Russia and CIS countries.
The new contract between Skylogic and Eurosat-Ukraine covers distribution to consumers in the Ukraine of the Tooway new generation satellite broadband service, which is delivered via Eutelsat’s KA-SAT satellite.
With Tooway packages enabling users to benefit from download speeds of up to 10 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 4 Mbps, Eurosat-Ukraine can now offer fast and immediate Internet access to users across the Ukraine.
