Optimus Chooses Eutelsat's KA-SAT Satellite to Launch a New Range of IP Services for Enterprises in Portugal

Using Eutelsat's KA-SAT High Throughput Satellite, Optimus brings fast IP access to Portuguese enterprises beyond terrestrial broadband networks

LISBON and PARIS, May 14, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL), Europe's leading satellite operator,
today announced a distribution agreement between its Skylogic subsidiary and Optimus, one
of Portugal's leading telecom operators, to deliver IP services to enterprises in Portugal
via the high-performance KA-SAT satellite.

    By selecting the KA-SAT infrastructure, Optimus has chosen the fastest and
highest-quality satellite broadband service in Europe. Optimus' new range of services will
be commercialised under the "Net Sat ON" brand to deliver a reliable and
competitively-priced solution that compares to terrestrial broadband. Through "Net Sat
ON", Optimus aims to bring fast IP access to business, local administrations and home
offices across Portugal, notably in areas beyond reach of terrestrial networks. Currently
more than 5% of Portugal's population has no broadband access and a further 5% live in
areas underserved with broadband services with less than 4 Mbps.

    According to Joao Ricardo Moreira, Head of Marketing at Optimus: "We have chosen this
new technology in order to ensurecontinuity ofaquality servicesupported by anetwork of
excellence.We are confident thatthis solution, powered by Eutelsat's innovative KA-SAT
satellite, willincrease our flexibility and enable us to better match serviceto the
specific requirements ofourenterprise customers."

    Achille De Tommaso, CEO of Skylogic added: "As one of the major players in
telecommunications in Portugal, with a broad experience of the business market, Optimus is
the ideal partner to expand reach of satellite broadband across the country. We are
convinced that the performance of satellite broadband through KA-SAT will make its mark in
meeting the challenge of building a strong and equitable digital landscape."
