NSS-806 is located at 319.5º East, giving it an optimum view of Latin American markets while also reaching the Iberian peninsula, the Canary Islands, Western Europe and much of Eastern Europe. Its tailored, high-powered hemispheric beam provides simultaneous coverage of both Europe and the Americas, with virtually complete coverage of North, Central and South America, therefore ensuring the maximum reach throughout Spanish and Portuguese speaking markets.
NSS-806 transmits more than 120 leading Spanish and Portuguese-language channels reaching approximately 13.5 million homes and 3,500 cable head-ends across South and Central America.
Television stations and video channels in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and the United States, as well as other regional services and international channels, use this satellite extensively to reach cable, MMDS and other downlink points at C-band using antennas as small as 1.8 meters.
The satellite also features high-power Ku-band coverage over the Mercosur region (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) making it ideal for corporate network communications and other broadband services.
