NSS-7 22°WestNSS-7 at 338° East is located at the world's premier orbital location for video contribution. Its extensive coverage of the Atlantic Ocean region makes it an ideal satellite for bringing programming from media hubs in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America into the East Coast of the U.S, for onward continental distribution via domestic satellites. Likewise, media companies with bureaus in the U.S. can use NSS-7 to contribute programming to their home studios in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America—and other Atlantic region locations--through the use of either Ku-band antennas at their remote facilities, or via the Washington Mediaport's uplink services. A DVB MCPC platform into NSS-7's Europe-Middle East beam offers a cost efficient, high-performance alternative to SCPC circuits.
