IS-905 Highlights
Downlink e.i.r.p. (beam edge to beam peak) Global: 31.0 up to 35.9 dBW Hemi: 37.0 up to 41.3 dBW Zone: 37.0 up to 47.6 dBW Ku-Band: Up to 54.0 dBW G/T
(beam edge to beam peak)
More power: The IS-905 is designed to provide an increase of up to 9.6 dB for downlink e.i.r.p. and up to 2.9 dB for G/T over the IS-VI satellites. Greater capacity: With a total of up to 72 C-band 36 MHz transponders (in four zone beam configuration), the IS-905 will provide 13% more capacity over our previous satellite at 335.5E. Enhanced coverage: IS-905 offers broad C-band coverage. Footprints include full coverage of South and Central America, broad coverage over Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and connectivity to North America.
