Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first
Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite
communications recently announced that leading Mexican multimedia
company, Grupo Televisa, will distribute its premium, over-the-air
television networks via Intelsat’s Galaxy satellites to Digital
Terrestrial Television stations, reaching many homes throughout
Mexico.
Under a new, multi-year and multi-transponder agreement,
Televisa will use C-band services on Intelsat’s Galaxy 16 and
Galaxy 19 satellites to deliver program distribution, contribution
and affiliate connectivity in Mexico. Galaxy 16, located at 99°
West, and Galaxy 19, located at 97° West, are part of Intelsat’s
leading Galaxy satellite neighborhood, delivering broadcast network
distribution services across North America.
“As one of the leading broadcasters in Mexico, we strive to
continually upgrade our video, voice and data networks to attract
strong viewership. Our network requires flawless quality and the
ability to expand our services into new verticals,” said William
Aguirre, Televisa’s Director of Satellite Operations. “By building
upon our longstanding relationship with Intelsat and leveraging
services on its high-performing Galaxy 16 and Galaxy 19 satellites,
we will have access to an efficient infrastructure that will
support our video and audio distribution networks, data networks
and asset monitoring operations across Mexico. Intelsat’s Galaxy
fleet offers us the reliability we need to deliver high-quality
programming to our viewers.”
“During our relationship with Televisa, which spans more than 25
years, we have provided unmatched performance and resilience for
their satellite service requirements worldwide,” said Carmen
Gonzalez-Sanfeliu, Intelsat’s Managing Director, Latin America and
Caribbean Sales. “Televisa needs to operate a highly reliable
platform that can deliver quality content to its viewers at all
times. Intelsat was able to provide a unique solution combining
high-power transponders on two spacecraft with optimal coverage
over Mexico, enabling the diversification that Televisa
requires.”
