Satellite Fleet
Key Highlights
- Located at 116°E
- The two FSS beams cover Afghanistan and the Middle East region, ideal for GSM cellular backhaul, satellite broadband, VSAT and government applications
- High powered BSS Ku-Band coverage of Pakistan, Afghanistan and North West India is ideal for DTH & CATV video distribution to small antennas (30 to 68 cm)
- Ka-Band with beam peak covering Afghanistan and Pakistan is perfect for government applications
- ABS-7 is a Lockheed Martin A2100 satellite
