ATLANTIC BIRD™ 1 :: 12.5° WEST
With nineteen active channels, the ATLANTIC BIRD™ 1 satellite was primarily designed to provide telecommunications services between Europe and the Americas. Its American coverage comprises North and South American zones. Its European coverage encompasses Europe, North Africa and the near Middle East.
Offering high flexibility, the satellite supports telecommunications networks spanning the two continents, providing a virtual common coverage and channel space. For example, a signal received from one coverage can be simultaneously transmitted to the other coverage, or to both coverages simultaneously. Signals can also be received from both coverages and transmitted to a single coverage.
