Hellas Sat expands services in Romania

Hellas Sat and Orange Romania together with Orange Romania Communications have strengthened their strategic cooperation through a multi-year agreement in order to complete the DTH merger of Orange Romania and Orange Romania Communications’ TV package and offers.

This will further enable Orange Romania Group to offer an integrated technical solution that translates into more benefits for all its customers, similar services, as well as a unified customer experience for both Orange Romania and Orange Romania Communications customers, aided by the extensive coverage of Hellas Sat.

The performance and availability of two Hellas Sat satellites that are at the same orbital position, together with a unique technical and commercial approach played an important role in winning the tender procedure. Thus, the partnership with Hellas Sat came as a natural choice for Orange Romania Group, as the company continues to focus on providing its customers with high quality services in its effort to become the first choice for convergent services in Romania.

With this new partnership, Hellas Sat has become the first-choice orbital position for DTH and TV channel distribution in Romania, and it reinforces the satellite operator’s leading position in South East Europe.

“It is our honor to collaborate with Orange Romania and Orange Romania Communications, continuing and expanding our services in Romania. We are proud to partner with Orange Romania to offer its subscribers the best user experience in DTH, with enhanced services and technology. This new agreement clearly demonstrates Hellas Sat’s long-term commitment to operators and broadcasters, to serve Romania - and South-Eastern European countries in general - with one of the most powerful satellite systems in the region, reaching more than 1.5 million antennas pointing at 39 degrees East,” said Christodoulos Protopapas, CEO of Hellas Sat.

The Company also provides managed services such as digital broadcasting and connectivity to its customers from its own premises in Greece and Cyprus as well as through its network of partners around the world.
