LUXEMBOURG -- (Business Wire)
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.”
