Intelsat to Refresh its Satellite Fleet Serving the Asia-Pacific Region
11 June 2009
Intelsat, Ltd., has provided further details with respect to its current fleet investment plan, which is expected to result in a significant improvement in the types and quantities of satellite capacity available to media, networking and government customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Intelsat expects to launch 11 satellites between now and the end of 2012, five of which will provide new or replacement capacity in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific build includes the acceleration of replacement satellites for two core roles and one new satellite that increases capacity for media and networking customers and addresses defense-related opportunities in the region.
The Intelsat 18 satellite, to be located at 180º E, will provide continuity and enhanced performance in C- and Ku-band for network, voice and video services to the Pacific Islands and offer connectivity to the Western United States. The Intelsat 18 satellite will replace the Intelsat 701 satellite.
The Intelsat 19 satellite, to be located at 166º E, will feature increased Ku-band capacity optimized for Direct-to-Home (DTH) and network services applications in Australia. The satellite’s C-band capacity will provide enhanced performance capacity for distribution of international video content throughout Asia-Pacific with reach to the Western United States. The Ku-band payload will also support demand for mobility and enterprise network applications across the region. The Intelsat 19 satellite will replace the Intelsat 8 satellite.
In addition to the fleet program, Intelsat continues to invest in its ground network infrastructure, expanding customer access to Intelsat’s Asia-Pacific assets. An upgrade at Intelsat’s Paumalu Teleport in Hawaii improved fiber diversity and upgraded antenna facilities to expand accessibility and redundancy on Intelsat’s Pacific Ocean satellites, enhancing services for media customers. Intelsat also expanded its GlobalConnex Network Broadband Managed services, adding hubs at KT Corporation’s teleport facilities in South Korea.
“Intelsat has served the Asia-Pacific region for more than four decades, and the acceleration and expansion of our investments with respect to these satellites and our ground network reflect our commitment to providing our customers with a growth path that supports their strategic objectives,” said David Ball, Intelsat’s Regional Vice President, Asia-Pacific. “With globalization of content, the increasing importance of HD programming, further deployment of enterprise and broadband services and mobile applications, and continuing popularity of DTH television services, Intelsat will have the connectivity and capacity to serve its customers in the region and as they distribute their content around the globe.”

AsiaSat 4’s New DVB-S2 DTH Platform Offers Service to Homes in Australasia
3 March 2011
Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited (AsiaSat) announced the successful launch of a new DVB-S2 Direct-to-Home (DTH) platform on AsiaSat 4 to distribute television and radio programmes to audiences in Australia and New Zealand.
This new platform is the first DVB-S2 distribution platform launched to serve the entire Australasia region. From the orbital location of 122 degrees East, it currently hosts some 30 television and radio services, broadcasting programmes in Russian, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Cambodian, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi and Telugu languages and dialects.
With the use of a full 54 MHz Ku-band transponder and the more efficient DVB-S2 technology, the new platform is expected to carry an expanding array of premier programming to serve multiple markets across Australasia.
The new platform is operated by Teleport Access Services (TAS) in Taiwan. Through TAS’s state of the art teleport facilities, the platform provides signal downlink and turnaround, uplinking and encrypted services for broadcasters. Dish antennas as small as 60-70 cm and 1.1-1.2m can be used in parts of Australia and New Zealand respectively.
"We are pleased to launch this new high performance DVB-S2 platform customised for DTH and targeting the Australasia market. This region has the world’s largest multicultural audience. We look forward to continuing to expand our channel offerings on this new DTH platform providing Australasian audiences a wider range of programming," said William Wade, President and CEO of AsiaSat.
