Measat Satellite Systems announced today the expansion of the Measat satellite network into Africa with the commissioning of the Africasat-1 satellite at the 46.0E orbital location. “The commissioning of Africasat-1 is a major step for the organization” said Measat COO Paul Brown-Kenyon. “While we have been able to serve customers in Eastern Africa from Measat-3, Africasat-1 will enable Measat to serve the whole of this fast growing and dynamic region of the world, providing connectivity for the region to key European teleports.”

Operating in inclined orbit, Africasat-1 provides twelve (12) high powered C-Band transponders, and up to four (4) high powered Ku-Band transponders, for telecommunications and broadcasting applications. The satellite will be operated from the Measat satellite control facility located just outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Capacity on Africasat-1 will be marketed through both the Measat sales team and select partners in the region. “We are seeing robust demand for the capacity and expect to announce the first lease agreement soon.” concluded Paul Brown-Kenyon.
