Eurobird 3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Owned by Eutelsat the EUROBIRD™ 3 satellite offers capacity for broadband and broadcast services in Europe.

Positioned at 33° East, EUROBIRD™ 3 is optimised for interactive broadband services, and also valued by broadcasters for occasional use and professional video services, and data networks like Estar by Technologie Satelitarne service.

With 20 Ku-band transponders, operating simultaneously, the satellite delivers cost-effective 2-way broadband Internet services. The transponders are connected to 4 spot beams over Europe and Turkey. These 4 beams overlap to allow hubs located in the hot spots of each beam to communicate with each other, thus ensuring highly effective pan-European coverage.
