LONDON (Alliance News) - Satellite Solutions Worldwide Group PLC Wednesday said is has signed a sales and marketing agreement with fibre-to-the-premises telecommunications operator Gigaclear PLC.
The satellite broadband provider said it will work with Gigaclear to identify and serve properties across the UK that cannot currently access fibre or fast broadband.
As part of the agreement, Satellite Solutions will offer its super-fast satellite broadband solution to communities that have been identified by Gigaclear as suitable areas to build their FTTP network, while they wait for it to be installed. Gigaclear will also refer customers to Satellite Solutions in areas that have been identified as needing a faster broadband solution, but haven't been confirmed as a suitable location for Gigaclear to deploy its solution.
"It is exciting to be working closely with Gigaclear. Any project that enables us to reach more people affected by the 'digital divide' and to give them better options has got to be great news for consumers. Our partnership is all about identifying those who lack a super-fast broadband solution and getting them connected quickly and cost effectively," Chief Executive Andrew Walwyn said in a statement.
Shares in Satellite Solutions were trading down 1.1% at 4.40 pence early Wednesday.
