Reliability and service
ASTRA pioneered satellite co-location at single orbital positions, which provides a unique form of in-orbit back-up. If a transponder fails, there’s always another ready to take over.
This system has become an industry standard, guaranteeing the best operational security and reliability.
Co-location allows you to extend your services at 19.2°E and 28.2°E. It gives viewers more choice from the same DTH reception equipment and has enabled the growth of digital TV since the launch of Sky Digital in 1998.
