Positioned at 33° East, EUTELSAT 33A is optimised for interactive broadband services and also valued by broadcasters for occasional use and professional video services, and data networks.

EUTELSAT 33A delivers cost-effective two-way broadband Internet services, with 20 Ku-band transponders connected to four spot beams over Europe and Turkey. These four beams overlap to allow hubs located in the hot spots of each beam to communicate with each other, thus ensuring highly effective pan-European coverage.

With its proximity to EUTELSAT 28A, EUTELSAT 33A is also perfectly positioned for bundling digital TV and broadband services that can be received by small domestic antennas.
