AsiaSat 9 Fully Operational at 122ºE

AsiaSat 9, the most powerful member of the AsiaSat fleet, is fully operational at 122ºE following successful migration of all services from AsiaSat 4, delivering enhanced power, greater bandwidth, and improved efficiency to customers for advanced DTH, TV distribution, VSAT broadband, and mobility services across the Asia-Pacific. The new AsiaSat 9 features significant upgrades, including Asia’s highest powered 110 watt C-band amplifiers, special filter design, star tracker, and hall-effect thrusters that generate higher efficiency, enhanced stability, and reliability in network operations. In addition, AsiaSat 9’s three new Ku-band Myanmar, Indonesia, and Mongolia beams, and two enhanced Ku-band beams serving Australasia and East Asia provide high downlink power up to 55 dBW that allows use of small antennas for more cost-effective roll out of customers’ networks.
