EchoStar and its EchoStar Satellite Services unit entered into an agreement with SkyWay USA to provide transponder services that support the broadband internet offering.

Through the agreement, EchoStar will provide SkyWay USA with domestic Ku-Band satellite bandwidth. That capacity will be used by SkyWay USA to provide high-speed satellite internet services across rural America.

"We are pleased to enter into this agreement with SkyWay USA to provide them with critical bandwidth to support their rural satellite internet solution," said Dean Olmstead, president of EchoStar Satellite Services. "With EchoStar's U.S. fleet of powerful Ku and Ka-Band satellites, we were able to provide an immediate solution to help SkyWay USA expand its customer base."
