UAE telco du has expanded its capacity on Eutelsat 7W to provide broadcasters with a high definition (HD) direct-to-home (DTH) delivery service.
Du is aiming the DTH platform at free-to-air networks across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), as well as international broadcasters. It will use du’s newly leased DVB-S2 transponder, optimised for the region’s high growth markets, on Eutelsat’s 7W satellite.
“Our customer is at the core of all our operations, and we are wholly committed to innovating and working with various partners to create and deliver solutions that optimize the end-user experience,” said Fahad AlHassawi (pictured), chief commercial officer, du. “Through our New HD DTH Platform, we aim to enhance broadcast services for over 56 million homes across the Middle East and North Africa Region.”
Speaking with Rapid TV News at CABSAT 2017, Ghassan Murat, VP of business development & strategy at Eutelsat Dubai, said: “Eutelsat is dedicated to accompanying the uptake of HD and a diversity of free-to-air channels on our satellites.
