Our Satellite
The HELLAS SAT 2 carries 30 high power Ku-Band transponders distributed among two fixed beams over Europe and two steerable beams that can be pointed anywhere within the visible earth.
The satellite is controlled via two fully owned TT&C stations located in Greece and Cyprus whistle our Carrier Monitoring Station network ensures high levels of transmission quality.
