Media&Broadcast, a business unit of T-Systems, and Eutelsat Communications [Euronext Paris: ETL] have signed an agreement for the lease of a full transponder on Eutelsat’s EUROBIRD 9 satellite. The capacity will be used for video networks and data distribution services in Germany and international markets. Both companies announced the new 10-year contract at IBC currently underway at Amsterdam.
EUROBIRD 9 is a 20-transponder high-power Ku-band satellite optimized for television and radio broadcasting in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The satellite’s recent entry into service at 9 degrees East, adjacent to the HOT BIRD neighborhood, underlines Eutelsat’s objective to develop multi-satellite reception in Europe in order to accompany the growing number of channels and the arrival of HDTV. Satellite homes equipped for DTH reception from the HOT BIRD™ position can easily add channels broadcast by EUROBIRD™ 9 by fitting a second LNB beside the LNB pointed to the HOT BIRD™ satellites—Frankfurt, Germany
