The fifth of Intelsat’s Epic high throughput satellites, Intelsat-37e represents a significant evolution of our award-winning platform. IS-37e features enhanced power sharing technology which enables assignment of power between shaped, fixed and steerable spot Ku-band and Ka-band beams. This allows satellite operator Intelsat to optimize services to the requirements of in-demand applications, by region, delivering efficiency improvements for mobility and government customers in the Americas, Africa, and Europe.
