Supernet is currently utilizing Paksat 1R to support the connectivity requirements of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) through a C-band network. This agreement reinforces Supernet’s and PAKSAT’s pledge to empower each other for national satellite bandwidth requirements, deployment of the existing services of PAKSAT, provision of equipment, technical expertise as well as to collaborate in the upcoming new national satellite and strategic projects.
