AVS, a leader in providing and integrating services in Brazil in the public and private sectors, has signed several contracts with Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) to power its EUTELSAT 65 West A satellite.
This partnership allowed AVS to deploy public channels such as TV ALEPR, TV ALESC, TV ALEPE and TV ALBA on the EUTELSAT 65 West A satellite, which prevent interference generated by the activation of 5G, underway in the country. Brazil is deploying 5G in the 3.5 GHz band, which is currently used to support satellite TV services in the C-band. The planned C-band of EUTELSAT 65 West A is a dedicated frequency band with a frequency band between 4.5 and 4.8 GHz, operating at 800 MHz above the 5G operating frequencies in Brazil. As a consequence, EUTELSAT 65 West A allows cost-effective geographic expansion for broadcasters as filters do not need to be installed to prevent 5G interference.
Commenting on the agreements, José Ignacio González-Núñez, Regional Senior Vice President of Media Sales for Eutelsat in the Americas, said: “We are pleased to support this partnership with AVS through EUTELSAT 65 West A. Our solution ‘Planned C Band’ offers a transparent and cost-effective proposition for broadcasters forced to migrate their signals outside the lower end of the C-Band spectrum, while offering them unrivaled coverage of the Brazilian territory. We will continue this support, aiming to grow AVS’s business.”
João Paulo Erthal, Director of Engineering at AVS, said: “Today there is great interest in expanding the audience of public TVs, with the objective of taking the content produced to the entire population and for this, we need to guarantee a very high quality service to our clients. It is a pleasure to have EUTELSAT as one of our main partners to achieve this goal.”
