Arqiva and SES sign multi-year capacity agreement

The orbital slot hosts transmissions from Sky and other broadcasters serving the UK and Ireland, reaching around 10m households.

SES and Arqiva have inked a multi-year, multi-million contract renewal for satellite capacity on SES’s prime video neighbourhood of 28.2 degrees East.

SES will continue to provide multi-transponder capacity to enable Arqiva to deliver SD and HD channels as well as radio services to its customers in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

SES’s satellites at 28.2 degrees East play a key role in directly delivering a wide range of TV channels to over 10m TV households in the UK and Ireland.
