From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nilesat 103 Satellite, also known as Atlantic Bird 4, is an Egyptian owned communications satellite.

Nilesat and Eutelsat has agreed in September 2005 to lease capacity on Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD 4 satellite after relocating it to 7 degrees West and renaming it Nilesat 103. The satellite is scheduled to be repositioned to this location in the second quarter of 2006 after the launch and entry into service of Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD 7A and HOT BIRD 8 satellites.

Nilesat 103 will join its two existing sister Satellites Nilesat 101 and Nilesat 102 in providing Direct Broadcast Satellite (Direct to Home or DTH) digital TV channels, data transmission, Turbo internet and multicasting applications to more than 15 million viewers in the North African and Middle East region.
