[QUOTE="hexah, post: 681284, member: 333852"] You may be right. The map that you have provided (with the EIRP) seems to be the most recent one. Astra will provide a full factsheet pdf for Astra 3B in a few months when the satellite has been fully tested. As far as I can tell Astra2Connect is available through European resellers. You would have to ask them. Comercial data will be provided point-to-point across any of the beams, avoiding expensive multiple hops. The unique innovation is that the satellite has an internal switching matrix so it can uplink in KA and downlink in KU or vice versa. The high power of the satellite and improving uplink technology it means it is cheaper and easier to provide feeds and remote monitoring services using lower powered devices. A good example of this will be the 2010 World Cup, uplinked from Africa and downlinked to any or all bands or beams. So I expect there will be more feeds from this satellite position than ever before. This makes 23.5e much more interesting than people may have expected. :) [/QUOTE]
