SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg stock
exchanges: SESG), today announced NewCom
International has signed a marketing agreement
to add REDiSat to its comprehensive suite of
communications solutions being offered to a
diverse customer base across the Southeast.

global communications leader headquartered in
Miami, Florida, will offer REDiSat to
communications service providers and businesses
serving a broad range of markets, including
hospitals, banks, hotels, and utilities
companies.
“We’ve added REDiSat to our vast portfolio of
basic and advanced communications services to
offer our diverse customer base across Florida
and the Southeast the one connectivity feature
they want most of all – peace of mind,” said
Jaime Dickinson, president and COO of NewCom
International, recently named the Independent
Teleport Operator of the Year by the World
Teleport Association (WTA). “REDiSat is a
must-have emergency communications solution
designed to restore a customer’s business
communications. SES AMERICOM has truly
demonstrated its innovative vision with a
product that will serve business and the
community well for years to come.”
“By aligning ourselves with communications
service leaders like NewCom, SES AMERICOM is

large and small companies across the country in

solution capable of keeping business lifelines
intact and operational,” explains Orlando

companies are signing on with REDiSat to keep

outages disrupted by physical breaks or extreme
weather. The highly reliable REDiSat service
leverages SES AMERICOM’s satellite fleet, which
carries millions of secure, mission-critical
business transactions every day and has been
used by U.S. Government agencies and Fortune 500
companies for more than 30 years.
SES AMERICOM offers flexible REDiSat
subscription pricing plans, which enable
