- Multiple contracts signed taking advantage of EUTELSAT 65
West A's powerful coverage over Brazil
- Avoiding interference generated by the ongoing 5G deployment
in Brazil
- Benefiting from Eutelsat's "Planned C-Band" solution to
ensure a seamless and cost-effective solution for
customers
Regulatory News:
AVS, a leading Brazilian service provider and integrator in the
public and private sectors, has signed multiple contracts with
Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) for capacity on its
EUTELSAT 65 West A satellite.
This partnership has allowed AVS to deploy public channels such
as TV ALEPR, TV ALESC, TV ALEPE and TV ALBA on the EUTELSAT 65 West
A satellite, avoiding interference generated by the activation of
5G, underway in the country. Brazil is implementing 5G in the 3.5
GHz band, which is currently used to support satellite TV services
in the C-band. The planned C-band of EUTELSAT 65 West A is a single
frequency band with a frequency range between 4 .5GHz to 4.8GHz,
operating at 800MHz above the 5G operating frequencies in Brazil.
Consequently, EUTELSAT 65 West A allows for cost-effective
geographic expansion for broadcasters, as filters do not need to be
installed to avoid 5G interference.
Commenting on contracts, José Ignacio González-Núñez, Eutelsat
Senior Regional VP, Media Sales Americas, said: "We are delighted
to support this partnership with AVS through EUTELSAT 65 West A.
Our 'Planned C Band' solution offers a transparent and
cost-effective proposition for broadcasters forced to migrate their
signals out of the lower end of the C-Band spectrum, while offering
them unparalleled coverage of the Brazilian territory. We will
continue this support aimed at increasing AVS's business"
João Paulo Erthal, Engineering Manager at AVS, said: "Today
there is great interest in expanding the audience of public TVs,
aiming to bring the content produced to the entire population and
for that, we need to guarantee a very high quality of service for
our customers. Pleased to have EUTELSAT as one of our main partners
to achieve this goal".
