OSLO, Norway & NAIROBI, Kenya--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2005--Taide, a subsidiary of Telenor Satellite Services, today announced the opening a new international telecommunications gateway in Nairobi, Kenya

The new gateway, a joint project with local service provider Kenya Data Networks (KDN), now offers a carrier-class alternative to the Kenyan marketplace for international communications.

Upon opening, the facility immediately began serving customers, with more than 50 percent of the capacity already in use

The gateway provides Internet service providers (ISP), calling card operators and corporate customers international Internet Protocol (IP) access for Internet services and virtual private networks (VPN) as well as access to the international public switched telephone network (PSTN) over IP

Located at the Kenya Data Networks building in Nairobi, which serves as the main communications center for Kenyan ISPs, the Taide gateway features fully-redundant operations over satellites in the Intelsat and New Skies systems

"Kenya is already a major hub in this region both in transport and international aviation, and there is no reason why it should not also be the same in terms of information and communications technology," said Kjell Harald Dalen, Norwegian Ambassador to Kenya.

"I believe this can be a major step toward bringing Kenya up to an international level in interconnectivity, something that will be important both for business and for those of us who either have a professional or personal need to use this form of communication." "Africa is experiencing double digit growth in international telecommunications and with recently liberalized telecommunications laws in Kenya, we are extremely pleased to team with Kenya Data Networks to build this gateway," said Stefano Vittor, managing director for Taide.

"By combining efforts with KDN we now offer Kenyans a competitive international telecommunications service - from local infrastructure and customer support to international connectivity and global Internet access." Based in Norway, Taide is part of Telenor Satellite Services and is a leading provider of high-quality IP services over satellite

Telenor Satellite Services is a subsidiary of Telenor ASA of Norway, listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (TEL) and NASDAQ (TELN)

LONDON & OSLO, Norway & ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2004- - Telenor DVB-RCS Service Provides Broadband Connectivity For Businesses, Small Office and Home Office Users, and Internet Service Providers in Europe and the Middle East Telenor is Offering Unlimited Data Transmissions for a Fixed Monthly Charge for Every New One-Year Subscription Taken Before January 15, 2005 Telenor Satellite Services, a subsidiary of Telenor of Norway (Oslo Stock Exchange:TEL and NASDAQ:TELN), today commercially launched its latest IP networking service --Telenor Digital Video Broadcasting - Return Channel Satellite (DVB-RCS)

The new, two-way broadband service enables low-cost, "always-on" communications for land-based users located throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Telenor DVB-RCS, Powered by Terralink(TM), Telenor's exclusive network of IP infrastructure and applications, is the latest addition to the company's expanding portfolio of broadband services

Telenor DVB-RCS service provides broadband communications via satellite to and from fixed and semi-fixed land-based locations where cable connections are unavailable or where satellite service is the preferred communications technology.

The service is asymmetrical, meaning uplink and downlink transmission speeds differ.

Asymmetrical service is a highly efficient and economical use of satellite capacity, since customers often need dramatically faster transmission speeds to receive a high volume of data, such as downloading a Web site.

Customers using Telenor DVB-RCS service will have the added flexibility of two transmission speed options:

-- up to 512 kbps downlink with up to 128 kbps uplink or

-- up to 1024 kbps downlink with up to 256 kbps uplink The new service uses commercially available standard equipment and supports a wide variety of applications for business enterprise users, small office and home office users, educational organizations, and Internet Service Providers

Telenor DVB-RCS service will initially enable Internet access, e-mail, and virtual private network (VPN) applications.

Future Terralink(TM) releases are planned to incorporate a number of advanced applications including IP videoconferencing, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), streaming video, Web TV and other technologies, in addition to expanded geographic coverage for DVB-RCS

"Telenor continues to add to its portfolio of innovative broadband services for customers on land, at sea and in flight," said Tore Hilde, chief executive officer of Telenor Satellite Services.

"Telenor DVB-RCS service is our most advanced offering for our land-based users.

It gives businesses, offices, and organizations with regional offices and remote branches, the opportunity to expand cost effectively their wide area networks

"Our DVB-RCS offerings, and future expanded services, will allow users to perform contemporary applications including e-learning and e-commerce, telemedicine, rural communications, and conduct financial transactions, regardless of the local infrastructure." According to Hilde, "Satellite-based broadband services, such as Telenor DVB-RCS, offer users rapid and easily deployable communications with a consistent quality of service regardless of location and local infrastructure.

Recently compiled market research indicates that there will be more than 58,000 DVB-RCS sites deployed throughout Europe by 2007." For each new Telenor DVB-RCS subscription occurring before January 15, 2005, Telenor is waiving the service limits and offering unlimited uplink and downlink data transmissions for all new subscribers signing one-year contracts
