Coverage

Star One D1 is equipped with 28 C-band transponders, 24 Ku-band transponders, and 300 (36MHz) Ka-Band transponders to meet the data, audio, video, and Internet demands of corporate and enterprise customers in Brazil, South America, Central America, and Mexico. [2]

In addition, the Star One D1 satellite is capable of being used by large companies and government institutions. It is also worth mentioning that the satellite is capable of receiving and transmitting television, radio, telephony, internet and data signals for entertainment, telemedicine, tele-education and business applications, necessary for the interconnection of the Latin American countries and essential for the most distant communities.

The Anik satellites are a series of geostationary communications satellites launched for Telesat Canada for television in Canada, from 1972 through 2013. Some of the later satellites in the series remain operational in orbit, while others have been retired and are graveyard orbit. The naming of the satellite was determined by a national contest, and was won by Julie-Frances Czapla of Saint-Léonard, Québec. In Inuktitut, Anik means "little brother".
