HorizonSat will be increasing its satellite capacity for the MENA region with two agreements one with Eutelsat on their 3C satellite located at 3-Deg East and another one with APT Satellite Company in their upcoming APSTAR-7 satellite located at 76.5 Deg East. The new contracts have increased the existing inventory of HorizonSat by another 216 MHz of capacity.
The overwhelming response of the new DVB-S2 ACM IP-service in the MENA region has prompted HorizonSat to increase their platforms on iDirect, Comtech and Newtec. We are able to respond to the tremendous demand for satellite capacity in our principal target locations since we are one of the few to have services running on all the three platforms, says Joel Lundahl, business development manager.
