Space Systems/Loral designed the satellite, which was built for Telesat to provide commercial and government customers with high-powered, state-of-the-art satellite capacity for a broad range of video and data applications. Following its launch later this month, Telstar-11N will operate from 37.5 degrees West longitude and will connect three continents: North America, Western Europe, and Africa. The satellite also has a unique Atlantic Ocean beam, which will support growing demand for mobile broadband from maritime and aeronautical markets. With 39 high-power Ku-band transponders, Telstar-11N is based on the Space Systems/Loral 1300 satellite platform, which provides flexibility for a broad range of applications.
