EUTELSAT 70B is designed to optimise resources from the 70.5° East orbital slot. With high frequency reuse, four powerful regional beams connected to 48 Ku-band transponders are located on a single platform, more than doubling current capacity at 70.5° East for data and government services, broadband access, GSM backhauling and professional video exchanges. The satellite will replace the EUTELSAT 70A satellite which will subsequently be redeployed to another location for continued commercial service.
