EuropeStar to float third satellite in Asian region Economic Times (India) 12/03/02 author: Manoj Gairola Copyright (C) 2001 The Economic Times; Source: World Reporter (TM) NEW DELHI: The London based EuropeStar, a leading satellite operator, may launch its third satellite in the Asian region. Currently, it has two satellites over Asia and all the leading international long distance (ILD) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are its clients. More than 20% of the total ILD traffic in India is being transmitted through EuropeStar. "We are seriously thinking about going for another satellite. We may also buy transponder capacities from the satellites already available in the region," said David Chegnion, general manager and head of global sales of EuropeStar. The company provides satellite bandwidth on Ku-band spectrum. This reduces the size of the dish required to send and receive signals. Moreover, the satellite capacity allows the ILD operator to launch the service from day one. Indias first private ILD operator Data Access has leased transponders from Europe*Star. "More than 50% of the Data Access traffic is currently passing through our satellite," said Mr Chegnion. Data Access accounts for 40% of the total ILD traffic in India.
