A step striving for extended connectivity and flexibility
AsiaSat 3S, a Boeing 601HP satellite replaced AsiaSat 1 in May 1999, is now serving our global clients at the orbital location of 105.5 degrees East. It delivers a great diversity of infotainment and thematic channels and mobilises communications across the Asia-Pacific region with an extensive C-band footprint as well as fixed and steerable Ku-beams enabling greater flexibility in network connectivity.
