Eutelsat Grows Business To Deliver 1,000 TV Channels Eutelsat, one of the world's largest satellite operators, has crossed the threshold of transmitting more than 1,000 television channels on its fleet of 21 satellites.
Since 1983 when Sky Channel was one of the first clients to sign up for capacity, Eutelsat has provided programming for broadcasters such as BBC, Canal +, TPS, RAI, Eurosport, Bloomberg and CNN. Eutelsat's recent survey revealed that of the 122 million TV homes in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East equipped for cable and satellite reception, 98 million are watching programs delivered by its HOT BIRD and EUROBIRD satellites.
The launch of the new ATLANTIC BIRD 2 satellite in October 2001 allows Eutelsat to deliver specially pre-packaged broadcast digital television programming for cable networks. Strong demand from broadcasters and multimedia service providers will be satisfied in 2002 by the launch of new broadcasting satellites, including HOT BIRD 6 and 7. Those spacecraft also will improve the in-orbit sparing capability at 13 degrees East and expand the capacity dedicated to Africa and new markets, company officials said.
Eutelsat S.A. is one of the world's leading providers of satellite communications solutions. With its 18 satellites and additional capacity on three other satellites, Eutelsat serves markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, south-west Asia and North and South America. >TK EMS Technologies Inc.
