SES wants to be able to use the C-band capacity alongside the Ku-band capacity on its AMC-2 satellite, it said in an FCC International Bureau license modification request filed Thursday. The hybrid C/Ku-band satellite, which operates at 84.85 degrees west, currently uses the C-band only for telemetry, tracking and command purposes, SES said, saying it wants to activate its C-band payload to meet customer demand.
