DIRECTV Latin America, one of the leading providers of digital
television entertainment services throughout the region, announced
today the successful launch of a new satellite payload, DLA-1, that
will enhance the entertainment experience for millions of customers
served by DIRECTV’s PanAmericana division beginning in the first
half of 2015.
“The launch of this new satellite will significantly enhance the
entertainment experience that has transformed DIRECTV into the
preferred pay TV service in the region,” said Jacopo Bracco,
President of DIRECTV PanAmericana. “DLA-1 will also enable us to
implement a long-term development plan to best meet the interests
and needs of current and future customers in the region in the
coming years.”
DIRECTV PanAmericana will continue to offer the best customer
experience, including exceptional service, even more quality
content, exclusive events, and the ability for customers to watch
what they want on any screen or digital device such as TVs,
computers, tablets or smartphones.
The strength that the brand has established worldwide with its
distinctive products and wide range of service offerings has
propelled DIRECTV to be the largest pay TV provider with over 39
million customers in the Americas.
DIRECTV is committed to growth by continuing to offer the best
and most distinctive content, state-of-the-art technology and the
best customer experience.
With this launch, the Company is ensuring it has a roadmap of
evolution and innovation for the future by investing in technology
and fulfilling its promise to deliver the best entertainment
experience platform, wherever, whenever and however the user wants
to watch.
DLA-1 will be located in the same position as the current
DIRECTV PanAmericana satellite (Galaxy 3C), 95ºW so subscribers
from Argentina, Chile, Caribbean, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay
and Venezuela will not have to make any changes in the orientation
of their antenna or to their set-top boxes when the new satellite
begins operating.
The DLA-1 satellite payload is hosted on the Intelsat 30
satellite, a Space Systems/Loral SSL 1300 model spacecraft. The
satellite was launched today on an Ariane 5
vehicle at 2:43 p.m. PDT / 5:43 p.m. EDT from Kourou,
French Guiana.
