Intelsat (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first Globalized
Network and leader in integrated satellite communications, today
announced that STN, the Satellite Telecommunications Network,
signed a multi-year extension with Intelsat for satellite services
supporting direct-to-home (DTH) and media distribution services in
North America via the Galaxy 19 satellite.
As part of the agreement, STN is utilizing the power of the
Intelsat’s Galaxy 19 video neighborhood. Located at 97° West,
Galaxy 19 serves as the premier U.S. neighborhood for free-to-air
multicultural programming, distributing content originating from 60
countries around the world in more than 30 different languages. The
satellite offers a Ku-band DTH platform that serves customers in
the continental United States as well as Canada, Alaska and Hawaii.
Intelsat is also providing an uplink via the IntelsatOne℠ PoP in
London and transporting the signal via IntelsatOne℠ fiber to the
company’s Mountainside Teleport in Maryland. At the Mountainside
Teleport, the signal is being uplinked to Galaxy 19 for the DTH
application.
“Intelsat’s Galaxy 19 satellite enables us to reliably
distribute premium programming and deliver regionalized content
from the Middle East and Asia to millions of homes across North
America”, said Mitja Lovsin, Chief Commercial Officer of STN. “The
quality, unparalleled coverage and efficiency provided by Galaxy 19
have spurred the rapid growth of our media distribution services in
North America. Our continued partnership with Intelsat will enable
us to further build our subscriber base and deliver more compelling
programming and services to our customers”
“Galaxy 19 enables service providers such as STN to reliably and
cost-efficiently deliver programming to millions of homes across
the continental United States, the Caribbean, Alaska and Hawaii and
Mexico,” said Rob Cerbone, Intelsat’s Vice President and General
Manager, Media. “Its premier multicultural video neighborhood
provides a perfect venue for STN to distribute content, grow their
subscriber base and achieve a strong return on their
investment.”
For more information, NAB Show attendees are invited to visit
the Intelsat Booth located at SU 1510 in the Las Vegas Convention
