PanAmSat operates high-powered satellite platforms for the delivery of direct-to-home (DTH) television services. These services deliver television channels directly to consumers homes via satellite.
Most PanAmSat satellites provide DTH service through high-powered Ku-band spot beams that focus on specific geographic areas. Each of these satellites can deliver dozens of television channels to subscribers who have installed the 60-90 centimeter receive dishes and related equipment.
Digital transmissions over DTH platforms offer superior picture and sound quality, and increased channel capacity. Today, PanAmSat transmits more than 500 DTH television and audio channels worldwide.
PanAmSat satellites serve as platforms for current and planned DTH television services in the Pacific Ocean region (PAS-2 and PAS-8), the Americas (Galaxy 8-i, Galaxy 10R, PAS-6B and PAS-9), the Indian Ocean region (PAS-10) and Africa (PAS-7).
