Arabsat 7A is expected to replace the bulk of the existing C and Ku-band capacity on Arabsat 5A as the satellite reaches the end of its life.
Based on Thales Alenia Spaces Inspire platform, the 7A will ensure more efficient use of spectrum and empower Arabsat to offer more flexible solutions to clients.
By signing this contract, Arabsat has joined an exclusive club of companies who have chosen geostationary satellite technology to enhance their business operations.
Eutelsat Quantum uses technology developed by Airbus and SSTL in the UK under the ESA Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems programme and supported by the UK Space Agency.
