Supporting high growth video and data services

The EUTELSAT 70B satellite, located at 70.5 degrees East, offers a broad widebeam coverage and four high-performance fixed beams focused over South-East Asia reaching as far as Australia, Central Asia, Europe and Africa.

A high degree of on-board connectivity enables the beams to be used either for regional coverage or to interconnect continents. This supports high-growth services, such as secure government communications in Central Asia through hubs located in the region or in Europe, professional data networks between South-East Asia and Africa, and direct connectivity between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The satellite is also key for broadcast services including distribution to cable and IPTV headends, DTH and DTT complementarity, video turnaround and Occasional Use services.

EUTELSAT 70B is designed to serve video clients across a high-performance footprint of South East Asia which includes Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Australia, targeting a population of more than 600 million inhabitants. This beam has loopback capabilities and is also connected to the European beam to bring content in a single hop from Europe directly to Asia.

The satellite’s orbital location also allows a double-feed solution with neighbouring hotspots, to maximize content choice for audiences.

A new satellite for Asia-Pacific with a high-capacity triple mission

EUTELSAT 172B is a new high-capacity satellite which delivers increased capacity for fast-growing applications including in-flight and maritime connectivity, cellular backhaul, corporate networks, video and government services in Asia-Pacific.

Located at 172° East, a prime gateway for satellite services in the Asia-Pacific region, EUTELSAT 172B provides exceptional land and sea reach from Alaska to Australia, via three distinct payloads:
- a C-band payload, with increased power and broader coverage for new growth markets in South East Asia;
- a Ku-band payload which connects to five improved service areas: North Pacific, North East Asia, South East Pacific, South West Pacific and South Pacific;
- an innovative High Throughput Ku-band payload specifically designed for in-flight broadband. It features multiple user spots optimised to serve densely-used Asian and trans-Pacific flight paths and is interconnected to gateways operating in the Ka-band. This is the first payload customised for in-flight connectivity over the Pacific Ocean Region and will deliver an overall throughput of 1.8 Gbps to a market forecast to enjoy sustained growth over the next few years.

Panasonic Avionics Corporation has selected EUTELSAT 172B as its platform for trans-Pacific and Asian in-flight broadband and live TV services for commercial airlines.

From its position at 174° East, EUTELSAT 174A offers Ku-band coverage spanning the Pacific Ocean, from Beijing to Perth.

Formerly known as EUTELSAT 172A, and GE-23, EUTELSAT 174A is a high-capacity satellite complementing Eutelsat’s global fleet with Pacific Ocean Region coverage and flexible connectivity.

Leveraging its comprehensive coverage and high-bandwidth capability, EUTELSAT 174A supports a broad range of telecom and maritime services.
