AMERICOM-4 (AMC-4) marked the beginning of Satellite transponder information AMERICOM’s international service offerings when it Spacecraft design Lockheed Martin A2100 came online in 1999. With the unique feature of Orbital location 101° W.L switchable Ku-band transponders, AMC-4 was able Launch Date/Vehicle November, 1999 /Ariane 44LP to meet market demand for comprehensive North and Design life 15 years South American communications services. C-bband payload 24 x 36 MHz The combined C-band payloads of AMC-4 and AMC-1 Transponder type SSPA, 20 watt (103° W.L.) form the Cable2® neighborhood, which Amp redundancy 16 for 12 Receiver redundancy 4 for 2 reaches more than 61 million cable households with Coverage 50-state, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, national and regional programming services. Central America
With coverage of all 50 states, this new cable Ku-bband payload 24 x 36 and 4 x 72 MHz neighborhood has become a real alternative to the Transponder type TWTA, 110 watt world’s best at 131 & 135 W.L. -- AMERICOM’s original Amp redundancy 18 for 14 cable neighborhood. Receiver redundancy 6 for 4 Coverage 50-state, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America, South America
