Newsflash: UZ-SAT and SES to Provide Satellite Capacity to Enable Critical Communications in Uzbekistan

SES, a world-leading satellite operator, and UZ-SAT, the Republic of Uzbekistan’s pioneering National Broadband Satellite Service Provider, are signing an agreement to deliver unparalleled connectivity services throughout Uzbekistan via SES’s GEO satellite, NSS-12. This collaboration aims to support mobile backhaul services across the nation. 
 
Under this agreement, UZ-SAT will leverage SES’ reliable satellite communications to bridge the digital divide, particularly in remote and rural regions underserved by existing terrestrial networks. This initiative is set to drive digital inclusion, ensuring that even the most isolated communities benefit from robust and consistent connectivity. 
 
In a country frequently impacted by natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, the agreement will also enhance Uzbekistan’s disaster resilience. SES’s satellite technology will empower UZ-SAT to rapidly restore critical communication networks, ensuring uninterrupted service during emergencies and safeguarding essential communication infrastructure.
