A 1.2 m antenna together with a 2 W BUC is the standard solution for 2way2sat services over Sub-Saharan Africa via Eutelsat W3A. In equatorial areas a 1.8 m antenna will provide a higher availability of the service during the raining season. A 90 cm antenna is sufficient in the South of the continent – in South Africa and neighboring countries.
