Putting new limits on digital satellite services
On November 19 the KA-SAT satellite of Eutelsat Communications flown to Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and is now in final stages of preparation before the scheduled 20 December launch of a rocket type before.
Putting new limits on the capacity
The KA-SAT, a creation of Astrium on behalf of Eutelsat, weighs 6.1 tonnes and is expected to be the cornerstone of the new satellite infrastructure in Europe, which also includes eight primary and two backup gateways, which are located in different parts of Europe continent and connected to the internet via an optical ring.
With a total capacity exceeding 70 Gbps, the KA-SAT is the most powerful space hub of the world and the first European satellite high transmission rate (High-Throughput Satellite - HTS), which will lead Europe into a new era of affordable and competing satellite services.
With features that include, among other things, direct access to the Internet, linking operational networks and local broadcast television programs, the new satellite will make viable the rapid commercialization of some of the most promising services in the satellite communications industry.
Putting new limits on digital satellite services
With a footprint that covers broadcast throughout Europe and the Mediterranean basin, the KA-SAT program is a modular platform, appropriate for telecommunications services, broadcasting local and national radio and television programs for broadcast IPTV and other demanding applications such as broadcast film works at high resolution.
Furthermore, the strong infrastructure that will enhance and further strengthen its commercial proposal of Tooway, broadband communication system of Eutelsat. With speeds of 10 Mbps on the download (download) and the emission of 4 Mbps (upload), the Tooway will be able to meet both current, and future needs of home Internet users, and will contribute decisively to To bridge the digital gap between businesses and customers who are away from the terrestrial broadband infrastructure.
"The special design of the KA-SAT with multiple sets of emission and the use of Ka band frequencies and systems ViaSat already been tested in North America will totally change the size of the spectrum will be available in each satellite, thereby changing completely the commercial and financial data to provide new satellite services, "said Michel de Rosen, Managing Director at Eutelsat.
"With the new pan-European infrastructure to complement the frequencies of Ku-band which is already used by a program of gradual modernization and upgrade that includes the launch of six new satellites, Eutelsat acquires a unique opportunity to redefine the provision of satellite services in all sectors communication market.
