Offering a total of twenty-four
simultaneously-active transponders, the W2 satellite provides a fixed Widebeam
coverage, spanning Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and a Steerable
coverage. Ten channels can be individually configured for operation via either
of the two coverages. The remaining channels are connected to the Widebeam,
which on the downlink is more concentrated than the Widebeam coverages of W1 and
W3, offering enhanced capability for television and multimedia broadcasting. The
Steerable coverage is positioned over the Indian Ocean for broadcasting digital
television services to Mauritius and Reunion Island and includes a large part of
south-eastern Africa. At
first the Eutelsat W2 satellite was called Eutelsat 3F2. SPECIFICATIONS SATELLITE:
