Eutelsat: signature of an agreement with UNBROSSA
(CercleFinance.com) - Eutelsat has announced signing an agreement with UNBROSSA (Unique Broadcasting Service).
The agreement covers the lease of several transponders on the Eutelsat 117 West B satellite in preparation for the launch of its new Caribbean direct-reception television platform which is called "Play".
Embarking over 125 channels, including 25 in high definition, "Play" will be one of the leading video services platforms in the Caribbean.
Didier Alerte, CEO of UNBROSSA, said: “This project is a major milestone as it will bring television to many for the first time, creating a significant impact on their access to information and quality of life. Play is truly the first real DTH platform tailored and built for the region.”
Mike Antonovich, CEO of Eutelsat Americas, said: “We are delighted that UNBROSSA has selected EUTELSAT 117 West B to launch this innovative DTH platform in the Caribbean. The distribution of the islands and their low population density make satellite the best suited solution to connect the population across the region, reaching even the most remote areas.”
