Hong Kong, 25 May 2011 – Asia Satellite Telecommunications Co. Ltd.
(AsiaSat), Asia’s leading satellite operator, announced the major
expansion of its Tai Po Earth Station in Hong Kong.
The project consists of a 900 square metre addition for equipment and a
600 square metre area for additional TVROs, and the construction of
infrastructure to support the installation of new communications
antennas. Construction work for the expansion of the earth station has
commenced and is expected to be completed in early 2012.
The AsiaSat Tai Po Earth Station is a state-of-the-art satellite control
facility for supporting the Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C)
activities of AsiaSat’s satellite fleet, while providing a broad range
of value added services to customers including DVB-S2/S MCPC platforms,
turnaround and uplink services, conditional access, playout service and
fibre connectivity. As the heart of control and operations, the earth
station houses AsiaSat’s Satellite Control Centre which provides 24/7
operational and customer services in addition to occasional use service
booking.
“Our continued investment in expanding our facilities highlights our
unwavering commitment to providing more diverse and comprehensive
services to our customers. Many customers are looking for a turnkey
solution with a trusted long-term partner, and AsiaSat is their first
choice. The expanded ground infrastructure and facilities will also
support the future needs of our fleet expansion,” said William Wade,
President and Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat.
