The Fucino Space Centre in Abruzzo, Italy, has become one of the key elements of the European network of the partner teleports of Intelsat, one of the leading global satellite operators. 

Thanks to the new agreement signed between Telespazio and Intelsat, the Fucino Space Center, one of the most important teleport in the world for civilian use, will be even more integrated into the satellite operator's satellite and terrestrial connectivity network, enabling Telespazio to provide new and innovative services to customers wordwide.

The new agreement enhances and integrates the historic partnership between Telespazio and Intelsat and will also improve digital infrastructure, broadband and satellite transmission capabilities globally.

“We are delighted to have reached this agreement with Intelsat, allowing us to expand the set of services available from our Fucino teleport in market segments - energy and government - of great interest for Telespazio”.
