How will ADEC deliver programming to international audiences?
A — ADEC will be developing a staged capability to transmit programming to international audiences. During the initial phases of the telecommunications hub operation, all international programming will be delivered from the hub to the ADEC digital transponder which will be located in the domestic arc. ADEC will assist with the purchase of retransmission services from the private sector which will receive the ADEC digital signal from our transponder and retransmit the signal to an international satellite with final delivery to targeted international downlinks. International sites within the “footprint” of ADEC’s transponder such as those in northern Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean Basin will be able to receive programming directly from the ADEC hub.. During later stages of the telecommunications hub development, an additional steerable uplink dedicated to international transmission will be constructed which will be able to access Loral/Orion, Intelsat and PanAmSat international satell
