Eutelsat Communications and NOORSAT announced the signature of a multi-year contract for the lease of three additional transponders on Eutelsat’s ATLANTIC BIRD™ 4A satellite. Four years from the launch of its first broadcasting services, NOORSAT, which is based in Manama, Bahrain, has emerged as one of the three leading players for satellite TV services in the Middle East.
Its broadcasting activities now comprise delivery of over 170 free-to-air and subscription channels, including some channels of the recently merged Orbit and Showtime platforms.
NOORSAT’s services operate principally at Eutelsat’s two major video neighbourhoods addressing the Middle East: 7° West, occupied by ATLANTIC BIRD™ 4A, and 25.5° East occupied by EUROBIRD™ 2. NOORSAT’s business portfolio also covers the provision of corporate networks and Internet access services via Eutelsat’s W6 and ATLANTIC BIRD™ 2 satellites, with the latter also used to broadcast Arabic and international channels to Arab expatriates living in Europe. In addition, NOORSAT offers a range of transmit services on capacity leased from Eutelsat, uplinked from its teleports in Manama, Lavrio (Greece) and Rome and other partner teleports in order to provide turnkey broadcasting services to client broadcasters.
