The satellite service provides expansive coverage of countries from Turkey to Pakistan, with reach-back to Europe, enabling collaborative tools and enhanced situational awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new program allows personnel to reach out to the tactical edge for fast and dependable real-time data and represents a further extension of our current mission support to warfighters using both GEO and Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite communications capabilities,\u201d President and CEO of SES Government Solutions, Brig. Gen.

Motor Presse TV will start using SES\u2019s end-to-end video cloud services, including the new Cloud Playout solution, to manage and distribute its two channels to Germany and Norway \u2013 \u2018Auto, Motor &amp; Sport TV\u2019 and its Norwegian counterpart \u2018Auto, Motor og Sport TV\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur content must reach our platform partners \u2013 and thus our viewers and users \u2013 reliably, flexibly and with the highest viewing quality. This applies to our linear TV channel, but also to our Video on Demand content that is seeing dramatic growth in its consumption. By switching to cloud-based video services, we are positioning ourselves to reduce our costs while streamlining operations and optimizing the viewing experience. We look forward to this successful cloud expansion in our partnership with SES,\u201d Silke Marx, managing director of Motor Presse TV, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SES has recently announced details of two new deals, one in the United States and one in Germany.
