Intelsat S.A. has signed a new multi-year agreement with RRsat Ltd., under which RRsat will use Intelsat capacity to facilitate and further enhance RRsatÂ’s penetration in the North American direct-to-home (DTH) market.
RRsat will use the power of the Galaxy 19 video neighborhood. Located at 97 degrees West, Galaxy 19 serves as the premier U.S. neighborhood for Free-To-Air (FTA) multicultural programming, distributing content originating from 66 countries around the world in over 40 different languages. The satellite offers a Ku-band DTH platform that services customers in the United States, reaching millions of homes.
“In today’s multicultural society, our customers’ audiences are demanding more diverse and unique programming, regardless of their location,” said Lior Rival, RRsat’s Chief Commercial Officer. “As we continue to enhance our presence in the United States, Intelsat’s Galaxy 19 video neighborhood is a natural choice for RRsat as it will enable us to deliver on that demand and further expand our customer base.”
