KA-SAT
The Eutelsat satellite in Ka band
In late 2010, Eutelsat launched KA-SAT, the first European wide band satellite operating in Ka-band bandwidth.
The KA-SAT has been positioned at 9 ° East, and provides Internet access and broadcasting services throughout Europe and the Mediterranean Basin.

The speed and performance enabled by satellite connections to the Internet, are comparable and even superior to standard ADSL connections.
• up to 18Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload for private and professional use.
• up to 40Mbps in download and 10 Mbps upload dedicated to Hi-end connections.
The use of the Ka band combined with the multi-spot technology allows to multiply more than 30 times the full capacity of the satellite compared to conventional satellites (cover picture with 82 spots).
The Ka-band is much more powered than the Ku-band and allows the transmission of larger data flows through tighter wave beam.
This allows to multiply the number of accesses that a single beam is able to manage, greatly reducing the costs for the end user.
