Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that
Orby Elevate has selected the EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite for the
distribution of its first major mainstream English language
Direct-to-Home (DTH) TV services in the United States.
Orby Elevate offers a mix of secular and religious video
services to US-based customers. Located at 116.8° West, EUTELSAT
117 West A features state-of-the-art technology providing hemi
coverage in both C and Ku bands, as well as high-power regional

throughput over the US territory to launch its first major
mainstream English language DTH bouquet in what is a very
significant market in terms of audience size and consumer
appetite.
Ricardo Dias, Orby Elevate Interim CEO, said: “It is a great
opportunity to leverage the already existing infrastructure
developed by the original iteration of Orby and the great coverage
of the powerful EUTELSAT 117 West A satellite into a platform that
allows family-friendly content to reach homes nationwide and at a
reasonable cost."
G. Jim Carroccia, Eutelsat North America Media Sales Director,
commented: “We are delighted that Orby Elevate has selected
EUTELSAT 117 West A for its first major mainstream English language
