Hot Bird 6 to join Eutelsat's premium entertainment fleet EUTELSAT FACT SHEET Posted: August 17, 2002
Eutelsat's leading market position at 13 degrees East comprises five satellites in geostationary orbit with a combined capacity of 100 transponders, and broadcasting more than 650 TV channels to 92.8 million homes. Hot Bird 6 replaces Hot Bird 5, liberating capacity for future missions and also freeing capacity on Hit Bird 4 that will be re-assigned, thereby enabling the 13 degrees East satellite cluster to reach out beyond Europe and the Mediterranean. Ka-band and SKYPLEX Combined with SKYPLEX, video broadcasting of "micro-broadcasting" is possible with small uplink terminals (90 cm). Private contribution links also become an alternative for local TV studios wishing to avoid using digital platform services. This underlines Eutelsat's strategy of facilitating providers and for companies seeking economic multicasting systems. |
