Eutelsat to deliver coverage of US Presidential Elections in Europe, ME

French-based satellite provider Eutelsat is mobilising three of its satellites to deliver broadcasting service and coverage of the US Presidential Elections in the Middle East and Europe. The company said that three satellites will be used for capacity by media outlets and broadcasters covering the international event.

Eutelsat 12 West A, Eutelsat 8 West A and Eutelsat 10A have all been booked - totalling 120 MHz of capacity - from November 2 to 9 to transmit live coverage of the presidential elections from across the Atlantic to TV stations in Europe and the Middle East. Some of the clients that will utilize satellite capacity are TIMA, Telenor, Al Jazeera, the Associated Press, and Arqiva.

Prior to the presidential elections, Eutelsat also provided satellite capacity during the London Olympics, elections in Greece and France, as well as the UEFA Euro 2012. The company’s booking centre manages the allocation of satellite capacity to be used for coverage of sporting, political, and other live events.
