PANASONIC AVIONICS CORPORATION SECURES ADDITIONAL CAPACITY ON ASIASAT 5 FOR ITS GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE
Panasonic Avionics Corporation (Panasonic), the world leader in state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment and communications (IFEC) solutions, and Asia Satellite Telecommunications Co. Ltd. (AsiaSat), Asia's leading satellite operator today jointly announced that Panasonic secured additional Ku-band capacity on AsiaSat 5 to support its Global Communications Service. This new capacity, which significantly enhances the existing coverage and capacity on AsiaSat 5 that Panasonic announced in September of 2011, helps ensure the best possible in-flight connectivity service for aircraft flying routes over the Middle East and India.
"The Middle East and India are two extremely strategic markets for Panasonic and our Global Communications Service, and we are very excited to have secured even more transponder space on AsiaSat 5," said David Bruner, Vice President of Panasonic Avionics Corporation's Global Communications Service. "As we continue to equip more and more aircraft that fly routes over these key, very high traffic markets, we will add the capacity and coverage necessary to ensure the industry's highest bandwidth at the lowest possible price."
"We are very pleased that Panasonic Avionics Corporation has expanded its use of capacity on AsiaSat 5 for its in-flight broadband services. AsiaSat 5's high power and wide Ku beam coverage have proved to be highly efficient for supporting not only groundbased fixed and mobile systems but also for sophisticated in-flight communication and entertainment," said William Wade, President and Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat.
