What you think of a new satellite called Intelsat 40e at 91W*?

[N5XZS]

That new bird just launched and will be parked at 91 W*.

Will have 3 bands C, Ku and Ka, can't help looking at Ku on this bird will use only 11.480 GHz to 11.701 GHz which is unique and unusual to say at least.

So that's means little or no video feeds to be had here?

More likely data feeds than anything else.

What you think?

They recently requested more spectrum for the satellite (including our Ku favourite settings!):

Hopefully, it means we will get some feeds (or more)!

No, F2 is at 111.1W, and there won't be a Ku replacement for it.
