Space Norway, a leading player in the satellite and communications sector, has announced a new long-term broadcast agreement with Allente, a major provider in the Nordic pay-TV market. This landmark partnership, revealed on September 11, will utilize satellite capacity from the 1-degree West orbital position to enhance television service delivery across the Nordic region. This development represents a significant step forward in ensuring reliable, high-quality broadcasting services for millions of viewers.

Strengthening Nordic Satellite Communications

The relationship between Space Norway and Allente is built on a robust history of collaboration. The companies have been leveraging multiple satellites, including Thor 5, Thor 6, and Thor 7, to deliver reliable broadcast services. With this new agreement, the duo expands their partnership to include the upcoming Thor 8 program, which promises to further enhance communication infrastructure across the Nordic region. The inclusion of diverse satellite technologies underscores their commitment to delivering seamless and uninterrupted services, even in remote and less-populated areas.

The Role of Nittedal Teleport in Reliable Broadcasting

A critical component of the capacity agreement is the support provided by Space Norway’s Nittedal Teleport—one of the region’s premier satellite uplink facilities. This infrastructure ensures strong, stable connections that enable Allente to meet customer expectations for quality service. Whether users live in urban centers, rural communities, or remote locations, they can expect consistent access to their favorite shows and channels. Jon-Espen Nergård, CTO of Allente, emphasized, “This agreement secures the capacity we need to keep delivering the TV experience our customers expect. A reliable, high-quality service, available everywhere in the Nordics, whether in cities, small towns, or the most remote locations.”

Future-Ready TV Services for Nordic Consumers

This agreement signifies more than just a technical collaboration: it is a cornerstone for future-ready TV services in the Nordic region. By leveraging inter-satellite diversification and advanced uplink infrastructure at Nittedal, both companies are ensuring uninterrupted service delivery for years to come. This partnership aligns with the growing demand for reliable and flexible communication solutions in an increasingly digital world. Customers can stay connected to the content they love, wherever they are, through this innovative collaboration between Space Norway and Allente.

The Space Norway-Allente partnership sets an important benchmark for satellite communications, reflecting advancements in technology and the critical importance of reliable broadcasting services in the modern era. With the introduction of the Thor 8 program and the continued support of high-quality infrastructure, viewers across the Nordics can look forward to a future of seamless and uninterrupted television entertainment.
