LEADING ORBITAL POSITIONS

The 36° East orbital position is the leading broadcast neighbourhood for Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), reaching 50% of homes across the region.

This unrivalled neighbourhood has benefitted from increased satellite resources, the launch of new television channels and the surge in popularity of new broadcasting formats, with new UHD channels joining the popular neighbourhood.

To complement this coverage, capacity at 56° East brings fresh and expanded broadcasting resources over Siberia to support expanded digital services in the Russian Federation.

Leading broadcast neighbourhood for Russia and the CIS

Reaching 50% of TV homes across Russia and the CIS, the EUTELSAT 36C and EUTELSAT 36D satellites at 36° East form the region’s leading broadcast neighbourhood.
