Powerful New Satellite with High Throughput Capabilities to Replace and Expand on Telstar 12 at 15° West

Telesat engineers set out to design a next generation Telstar with improved capacity, coverage and flexibility to meet the growing communications needs of broadcast, corporate, government and enterprise users, including demand for aero and maritime services. The result is Telstar 12 VANTAGE, a completely new Telesat satellite that will deliver important operational advantages for customers including lower cost per Mbit.

From its central orbital location of 15° West, Telstar 12 VANTAGE will provide coverage of the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, as well as high traffic maritime zones in the Mediterranean, North Sea, Caribbean and the South Atlantic. It will also combine traditional regional beams with high throughput spot beams allowing customers greater flexibility in the design of their networks along with full backward compatibility for their existing Ku-band terminal equipment.
