An Update from Africa
Jon Osler, Managing Director, Africa 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.

Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season,

Jon Osler
Managing Director, Africa Sales
