Hong Kong, 15 September 2011 – Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited (AsiaSat) was named „Regional Satellite Operator of the Year‟ at Euroconsult‟s 8th Annual Awards for Excellence in Satellite Management.
The Awards are the industry‟s highest accolade, recognising companies for their outstanding achievements in the satellite industry. The Award winners were chosen by a jury of industry experts from global satellite research and analyst firm Euroconsult, satellite and space publications Satellite Finance and Space News, whose assessments were based on key performance indicators such as revenue, profit and EBITDA growth, market penetration, innovation, strategic decisions and impact.
Pacôme Revillon, CEO of Euroconsult and President of the Jury, said, “This award recognises AsiaSat‟s strong performance in 2010. Following the launch of AsiaSat 5 in 2009, AsiaSat delivered significant growth, notably including the broadcast of new pay-TV services in several Asian countries.”
“We are extremely honoured to have been selected the „Regional Satellite Operator of the Year‟. We thank Euroconsult, Satellite Finance and Space News for this recognition for excellence in satellite management. We believe this award once again confirms AsiaSat‟s market leadership position. We look forward to maintaining our high standards of service quality, diversity and reliability through further expanding our satellite fleet and ground infrastructure while continuing to offer a growing variety of attractive value added services to our customers,” said William Wade, President and CEO of AsiaSat.
As Asia‟s leading regional satellite operator with a powerful fleet of three satellites serving the Asia-Pacific region, AsiaSat achieved record results in both revenue and profit for 2010 by expanding its areas of offerings and operations, and its premium customer portfolio. AsiaSat plans to launch a new satellite AsiaSat 7 in the fourth quarter this year, and with the expansion project of its Tai Po Earth Station completing in early 2012, AsiaSat is able to significantly enhance its range of products and services to customers in the broadcast, telecommunications and broadband industries.
