LUXEMBOURG -- SES announced a new content distribution agreement with Mileto Tecnologia for its direct-to-home (DTH) pay-TV platform. Under the agreement, SES will provide Mileto with capacity on the SES-6 satellite at the 40.5 degrees West TV neighborhood, providing coverage for delivery of its bouquet of HD channels to over 600,000 TV households across Brazil.

The agreement follows Mileto’s recent acquisition of all the infrastructure and subscribers of Oi TV, one of Brazil’s largest and traditional satellite pay-TV services.

“A key part of the success of our Oi TV acquisition was the partnership with SES and knowing they would be able to seamlessly transition all existing subscribers without any impact to the customer experience,” said Roberto Guenzburger, CEO at Mileto Tecnologia. “The reliability and performance of SES’s service ensures we can reach customers in any corner of Brazil and deliver the high-quality content they demand.”

“This new agreement with Mileto underscores the continued value of satellite for pay-TV distribution, with its ability to cost-effectively deliver a wide range of high-quality content to viewers across large geographic areas, whether urban, rural or remote,” said Deepak Mathur, Global Head of Media at SES. “We look forward to partnering with Mileto in the coming years to grow their base of subscribers across Brazil while delivering news, sports and entertainment in the best image quality.”
