SINGAPORE--(Business Wire)--
SES NEW SKIES, an SES company (Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG), announced
today at the CommunicAsia summit and exhibition in Singapore (17 - 20.

Numix Engineering, has contracted 5 MHz of transmission capacity on
the NSS-6 satellite at 95 degrees East to launch two-way Ku-band
broadband services targeting Malaysia and other countries in South
East Asia.

TM is Malaysia's leading next generation communications provider
and broadband champion, and offers a comprehensive range of
communication services and solutions in broadband, data and
fixed-line. Numix Engineering was established to provide local
expertise involved in the supply and system integration of high
technology products, and the provision of their associated specialised
engineering and support services to complement the high growth areas
of broadcasting (radio & TV), telecommunications (satellite &
terrestrial - fiber optics, or microwave), multimedia, defense and
other related high-tech industries in Malaysia.

Mr. Abdul Razak Bin Mohd Noor, Managing Director of Numix, said: "
Numix Engineering as system integrator for TM's two-way Ku-band
satellite broadband service will be responsible for the capital
investment, transponder leasing, installation and operation of hub and
remote terminals. In return, TM will provide sales and marketing
support to the Numix managed services on NSS-6. We look forward to a
mutually beneficial collaboration between TM, SES NEW SKIES and
Numix."

Dato' Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, Group CEO, TM said : "This strategic
collaboration will benefit the users of TM Internet services, as the
VSAT Ku-band will offer affordable communication that is capable of
providing voice, fax, data and high speed broadband connectivity
nationwide, especially in remote areas not covered by TM's fixed
infrastructure. In addition to that, this partnership will enhance the
utilization and growth of TM's future aspirations in the domestic
market, in terms of broadband internet penetration."

States Elias Zaccack, Vice President of Sales Asia Pacific at SES
NEW SKIES: "NSS-6 is the ideal broadband multimedia satellite for
Asia, and we look forward to working with TM and Numix Engineering to
provide businesses and homes with state-of-the-art satellite broadband
services in Malaysia and beyond - irrespective of the geographic
location and notwithstanding the availability of terrestrial
networks."
