Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first
Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite
communications, confirmed a multi-year satellite services agreement
on Intelsat 19 with TV Plus, a Direct-to-Home television provider
servicing diverse communities in Australia.
Under the previously referenced renewal agreement, TV Plus will
use Ku-band satellite services on Intelsat 19 to deliver global
content to local viewers in Australia and New Zealand. Located at
166° East, Intelsat 19 is a premier video neighborhood, reaching
more than 37 million pay-tv subscribers. Intelsat is a leading DTH
provider in the Asia-Pacific region, distributing content for media
customers in Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, French Polynesia
and New Caledonia.
“Intelsat’s satellite services give us the foundation we need to
innovate and stay ahead of our competitors by using the latest
technologies to deliver the best viewing experience for our
customers,” said John Jeremic, Director at TV Plus. “We have worked
with Intelsat for more than 10 years and have seen firsthand how
its world-class video neighborhood has helped expand our audience
reach. We’re able to cost-efficiently add more channels to the
platform and deliver more programming to our viewers while
maintaining the same amount of satellite bandwidth.”
“There is a lot of opportunity for diverse programming in the
Asia-Pacific region, and consumers are demanding quicker access and
more viewing options,” said Terry Bleakley, Intelsat’s Managing
Director, Asia-Pacific Sales. “Working with TV Plus and building
upon the strong relationship we’ve established over the past
several years has given us a greater understanding of the demand
and the type of cost-effective satellite services it needs to reach
a broader audience, with more high-quality programming
options.”
