W3A :: 7° EAST
Strategically placed at 7 degrees East, over the Gulf of Guinea, Eutelsat's W3A satellite covers the whole of sub-Saharan Africa and provides direct connectivity to Europe and the Mediterranean Basin.
W3A is one of Eutelsat's most sophisticated satellites, combining Ku- and Ka-band frequencies and on-board multi-plexing (SKYPLEX). It provides pan-European and pan-African coverage while guaranteeing connectivity between the two continents.
In addition to bringing Africa its first SKYPLEX on-board multi-plexing solution, W3A also brings to Africa key applications such as distance-learning, telemedicine, Internet access and much more.
