PanAmSat's PAS-4 Indian Ocean Region satellite casts a
 footprint over roughly 60 percent of the planet's landmass.
 This 30 million square-mile area is home to more than 80
 percent of the world's population.

PAS-4's vast and powerful coverage provides more robust
 and advanced resources for the development of broadcast networks serving Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
 The satellite enables PanAmSat to target the exciting growth opportunities in the emerging markets in the Indian subcontinent
 as well as Central and Western Asia, where demand for high-speed data and Internet services is strong and growing.

Satellite EXPRESS AM22 (53° East KU-Band)

With a highly flexible configuration of fixed and steerable beams, EXPRESS AM22 provides high-power KU-Band capacity over Europe, Africa, the Middle East and central Asia.

EXPRESS AM22 can deliver telecomm services, internet backbone, broadband and broadcasting services via 12 Ku-band transponders.

The satellite has a total of 24 transponders, 12 of which are referred to as SESAT 2, and are leased to Eutelsat by the RSCC (Russian Satellite Communications Company). The remaining 12 transponders, with domestic coverage of the Russian Federation, are commercialized by the RSCC under the name EXPRESS AM22.

EXPRESS AM22 with its coverage of Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia through a highly flexible configuration of fixed and steerable beams. The satellite was built by NPO-PM of Krasnoiarsk, with a payload supplied by Alcatel Space. EXPRESS AM22 capacity enables to enhance commercial offerings and broadcasting services, while opening growth opportunities in geographical areas with significant potential.

Satellite Newskies NSS7 (C-Band - North East Zone)

Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin
Orbital Location: 338º East
Launch Date: April 2002

Number of Transponders (physical): C-Band: 36
EIRP at Beam Centre: C-Band: 36 to 45 dBW
Frequency: C-Band

C-Band Uplink: 5850 to 6425 MHz
C-Band Downlink: 3625 to 4200 MHz

NSS7 is the world's leading contribution satellite
NSS-7 at 338° East is located at the world's premier orbital location for video contribution. Its extensive coverage of the Atlantic Ocean region makes it an ideal satellite for bringing programming from media hubs in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America into the East Coast of the U.S, for onward continental distribution via domestic satellites. Likewise, media companies with bureaus in the U.S. can use NSS-7 to contribute programming to their home studios in Europe, the Middle East and Africa—and other Atlantic region locations--through the use of C-Band antennas at their remote facilities. NSS-7 is capable of delivering video signals into North Africa at DTH-type power-levels and offers media companies added opportunities for extending the reach of their French- and English-language channels to burgeoning audience markets at reasonable cost.
