PanAmSat expands coverage to Europe: (21 July 05) Satellite operator, PanAmSat, and French-based communications company, Alcatel, have signed an agreement for the acquisition of multiple European orbital slots and a satellite with a footprint over Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The agreement allows PanAmSat to strengthen its presence in the European and Middle Eastern marketplaces as well as expand its global reach into key growth regions. Chief Executive Officer of PanAmSat, Joe Wright, said: "With the acquisition of Europe*Star (satellite), we can now provide our customers with more effective access and expand our services to and from the European marketplace." The new satellite will enable PanAmSat to provide programme distribution, broadcast contribution and enterprise networking to its European customers. PanAmSat has also recently signed an agreement with Japan's JSAT to launch a new Ku-band satellite to satisfy the growing demand in the US market. The joint venture, Horizons-2, includes a high-powered satellite that will support everything from digital video, high-definition television (HDTV) and IP-based content distribution networks to broadband Internet and satellite news gathering services (SNG ).
