Eutelsat have ordered Eutel 65West A


Paris, 30 July 2013 — Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) today confirmed the order of a new multi-mission high-capacity satellite designed to serve dynamically expanding video and broadband markets in Brazil and across Latin America. The company has selected Space Systems/Loral (SSL) to manufacture the EUTELSAT 65 West A satellite that will be launched and operational in early 2016. It will be located at the 65° West position where Eutelsat’s subsidiary, Eutelsat do Brasil Ltda. was granted frequencies in C, Ku and Ka-bands by ANATEL, the Brazilian telecommunications regulatory authority, in June this year.
The new satellite defined by Eutelsat will combine the benefits of broad landmass coverage in C and Ku-bands for video distribution to headends and Direct-to-Home broadcasting, with a flexible high throughput payload for broadband access in the Ka-band. This tri-band configuration will equip Eutelsat to target markets with the highest growth potential across Latin America, in particular Brazil as it upgrades its digital infrastructure and prepares to host the 2016 Olympic Games. The satellite’s total payload will be distributed as follows
