 New Skies Satellites announced Thursday it has signed a framework agreement with the Netherlands Ministry of Defence to support the Netherlands Armed Forces with satellite communication services on its NSS-7 and NSS-703 satellites.

The contract is an example of recent efforts by the Netherlands armed forces to restructure its procurement activities by signing a single agreement with a vendor for satellite communication services to serve its Army, Navy and Air Force on their global missions, the company said in a statement.

The Defence Ministry selected New Skies because of its ability � through its NSS-7 and NSS-703 satellites - to offer C- and Ku-band satellite coverage spanning the Americas, the Atlantic Ocean region, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and provide the capability to expand services if necessary.

"New Skies has an extensive track record of meeting the demanding and mission critical satellite communication needs of government users," said Dan Goldberg, New Skies Satellites chief executive officer. "This agreement further solidifies our role as a leading provider of global satellite communication services in the government sector."
