Hello,
Season’s Greetings! It was an ‘epic’ year for Intelsat, as we launched five satellites in 2012 and expanded the IntelsatOne terrestrial network with a new Point of Presence in Miami, Florida. We also introduced the next-generation Intelsat EpicNG satellite platform, which will deliver high-throughput, high-efficiency capacity using an open architecture.
We recently completed customer transitions to our newest satellite, Intelsat 23, which is providing refreshed C-band capacity to African customers.
Intelsat continues to deploy new platforms to meet the needs of our customers, such as the Intelsat 28 Ku-band MCPC platform. Through a partnership with GlobeCast, the platform has been operational for nearly a year, offering access for regional and international programmers looking to expand their distribution of cable and DTH services across sub-Saharan Africa.
The cellular backhaul sector remains one of the fastest growing in Africa. Customers can learn more about our support of this segment in a recently published whitepaper on our Web site, which highlights Intelsat’s infrastructure in Africa and our support of the continent’s burgeoning cellular backhaul sector.
