  • EUTELSAT's W3C SATELLITE in FULL COMMERCIAL SERVICE New W3C and ATLANTIC BIRD™ 7 Satellites Inject Additional Resources
    PR/72/11 EUTELSAT’s W3C SATELLITE IN FULL COMMERCIAL SERVICE New W3C and ATLANTIC BIRD™ 7 satellites inject additional resources and flexibility into Eutelsat’s fleet Paris, 9 November 2011 Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) today announced the full entry into commercial service of the powerful W3C satellite at 16° East. The transfer of all traffic, including over 480 television channels, onto W3C from the EUROBIRD™ 16, W2M and SESAT 1 satellites was completed this morning by Eutelsat’s control centre, working in close collaboration with clients and providers of uplink services. With the high-capacity W3C going on-line at 16° Eas t, Eutelsat is further equipped to service dynamic satellite broadcasting markets in Central Europe and Indian Ocean islands. Over 11 million homes in Central Europe and 500,000 in Indian Ocean islands are already equipped to receive broadcast services from this longstanding Eutelsat neighbourhood. Pay-TV platforms and public and private broadcasters using W3C include SBB, Digitalb, TV Max, Tring and TV Romania that are addressing Central Europe via a high-power footprint optimised for the region. A second regional footprint centred over Madagascar and Indian Ocean islands is serving the Canal+ Overseas, Parabole Réunion and Orange platforms as well as France Télévisions to support digital switchover in Reunion Island and Mayotte. SBB, operator of Total TV, the leading DTH platform in the Adriatic region, is taking immediate benefit from W3C’s increased capacity to add two transponders to the six already leased at 16° East. SBB's additional capaci ty, leased to 2020, will be used to support a number of new channels in all of Total TV's markets.

  • Echostar Annual Report Year Ended December 31, 2012 March 20, 2013
    NASDAQ: SATS 100 Inverness Terrace East Englewood, CO 80112 303.706.4000 | echostar.com EchoStar Annual Report Year Ended December 31, 2012 March 20, 2013 Dear EchoStar Corporation Shareholders; 2012 was a very busy year for EchoStar. One of the most exciting accomplishments for 2012 was the addition of two new satellites to our growing fleet through the successful launches of EchoStar XVI and EchoStar XVII, bringing our total number of owned, leased and managed spacecraft to twenty-two. EchoStar operates the world’s fourth largest commercial geostationary satellite fleet and we continue to solidify our position as a premier global leader in satellite communications and operations. EchoStar ended 2012 with revenue of $3.1 billion, a growth of 13% over 2011. EBITDA in 2012 was $794 million, a growth of 64% over 2011. We generated a healthy $508 million of cash from operating activities in 2012 as a result primarily of the strong net income in 2012 and ended the year with a strong balance sheet with $1.5 billion of cash and marketable securities. EchoStar reached two very important long-term North America goals in 2012 with the market implementation of the HughesNet Gen4 service and the roll-out of the Hopper Whole Home DVR solution for DISH. Both solutions are garnering high praise and rapid adoption by consumers, a glowing testament to the capabilities and ingenuity of the EchoStar team. Additional notable accomplishments for 2012 include the very successful introduction of two new Slingbox retail products, several large enterprise contract renewals and new customers for Hughes data network services around the globe, and above-forecast sales of set-top-box products and video services to our established operator customers.
