Why 19.2E?
At ASTRA, we help our customers break new ground.
New markets, new audiences and new opportunities. Perhaps more than almost any other orbital position, 19.2E has achieved exactly this.
The first position to carry a digital pay-tv package. The first to broadcast an HD channel in Europe, and one of the few constellations of satellites to cover nearly 97 million homes. 19.2E is a true pioneer. So heres the technology, the engineering, the geography and the entrepreneurial clout of one of the most successful positions to orbit the planet.

Why ASTRA?
Flexibilty Our clients come in all shapes and sizes, and different business models. Some clients are pay-TV operators with hundreds of channels and millions of subscribers. They simply provide us with the channel feed; they just want to know that the Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite (DVB-S) signal is reaching their loyal viewers. Other clients leave generating the DVB-S signal to us. They provide us with the playlist and we store and manage the content. This frees them of the need to invest millions in technology to do something thats not at the core of their business. It also allows them to concentrate on doing what they do best, which is entertainment. We can provide: Encryption Playout services Encoding Content hosting Digital multiplex services Market research Its very easy to assume one region will have similar broadcasting habits as another, but that kind of assumption can cost you dear. Each year we commission 70,000 interviews in 35 countries by independent institutes like GfK and TNS. We then deliver the insights gained to our customers so they can make the important decisions for their businesses. Its part of our approach of helping our entertainment partners grow their business by allowing them to explore the unknown with confidence. Dedicated teams If youre trying to grow a channel you need all the support you can get. We know thats going to take more than just one of our representatives stepping off a plane once in a while. So we provide you with a dedicated team that speaks your language and is based in a city near you. We give you access to our market reports and our network of installers. We run training courses for your field teams.

Reliability We know how much is at stake when your audience tunes in for the content youre delivering. So we go to near-obsessional lengths to guarantee each and every system. At our headquarters in Luxembourg weve got our own power supply, should the local network go down. If for any reason thats unserviceable too, we have an alternate grid power feed from Germany. This level of security is just as tight 36,000 kilometers up, as it is on the ground. We build in plenty of what engineers call redundancy into every satellite, more than any other satellite operator. This means theres a backup system ready to take over and ensures the smooth running of every broadcast. We know how hard you work to build audience share. We dont want any kind of malfunction to damage it. Standardisation and partnership New technologies like High Definition and 3DTV are very exciting but they always raise the question: what should the common standard be? Part of working on the frontier of new technologies means that this question comes up over and over.
Of course theres always the temptation to defend your own standard rather than reaching agreement with all the rest. But consumers want to buy into technology that has a future. And the best guarantee of the future for a technology is for it to be supported by all. At ASTRA we go to great lengths to achieve this. We team up with consumer electronics manufacturers and broadcasters. We work closely with regulators and governing bodies to gather and agree a standard that can be adopted by one and all. This way, we share a common vision: to improve the viewers experience, and ultimately grow the audience. We partner with, amongst others, the following companies and institutions: ANGA Deutscher Multimedia Verband DIGITALEUROPE Digital Television Group (DTG) Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) European Cable Communications Association European Satellite Operators Association (ESOA) Global VSAT Forum RETRA
