Space Systems/Loral will provide a satellite to Sky Perfect JSAT of Japan. JC Sat-14 will replace JC Sat-2A at 154 degrees east “and expands on its capacity to meet the growing demand for telecommunications infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region,” SSL said in a press release (http://bit.ly/14wU8Ro). The satellite has 26 C-band transponders and 18 Ku-band transponders for service in Asia, Russia, Oceania and the Pacific Islands, it said. The C-band coverage will be used for broadcast and data networks “and the satellite’s Ku-band regional beams will provide high-speed connectivity for maritime, aviation and resource exploration use,” it said.
