This latest move will complement NT’s existing partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb for provid-ing a LEO satellite broadband internet service, which was launched in the region on March 25 this year through NT’s satellite gateway in Ubon Ratchathani province.

According to NT president Col Sanphachai Huvanandana, NT recently entered into a stra-tegic cooperation agreement with SpaceSail in terms of the sharing of satellite infrastructure for providing a satellite broadband service, especially to potential mass subscribers in remote areas.
