15° WL

Telstar VANTAGE satellites deliver improved coverage and flexibility to meet the
growing communications needs of broadcast, enterprise, government and mobility
users. With the Telstar 12 VANTAGE high throughput satellite (HTS), customers can
access a combination of broad regional beams and high throughput spot beams for
increased flexibility and efficiency.

Telstar 12 VANTAGE operates from 15 degrees West. From this central orbital location
it provides extensive coverage of the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East,
as well as high traffic maritime zones in the Mediterranean, North Sea, Caribbean and
South Atlantic. And because its user links are in Ku-band, Telstar 12 VANTAGE supports
backward compatibility with existing Ku-band terminal equipment.
