Manufactured by Boeing and equipped with an advanced digital
payload, Intelsat 35e will deliver high performance services in C-
and Ku-band for wireless infrastructure, mobility, broadband,
government and media customers in the Americas, the Caribbean,
Europe and Africa. Intelsat 35e will be placed into service at
325.5° East where it replaces Intelsat 903, which will be
redeployed to another Intelsat orbital location by year-end.
The Intelsat EpicNG fleet is designed to deliver more efficiency
for satellite broadband service providers, enabling improved
performance and economics that allows customers to explore new
applications and new business models to grow their businesses.
Companies including Orange, INWI, Tele Greenland, Sonatel, Marlink,
Speedcast, ETECSA and eProcess will be among the first to deploy
services on the satellite once it is placed into service. Intelsat
35e also includes a tailored payload for direct-to-home (DTH)
television services for Canal+, a leading provider of DTH services
in the Caribbean.
“The successful launch of Intelsat 35e is a major milestone in
our business plan for 2017, furthering the footprint and resilience
of our Intelsat EpicNG infrastructure,” said Stephen Spengler,
Chief Executive Officer, Intelsat. “With each Intelsat EpicNG
launch, we advance our vision of creating a global, high
performance for our customers that will unlock new growth
opportunities in applications including mobility, wireless
infrastructure and private data networks. As we further our
innovations with respect to ground infrastructure and managed
service offerings, like IntelsatOne Flex, we are transforming the
role of satellite in the telecommunications landscape.”
