Thacom 6 for DTH Business Over the Middle East and Northern Parts of Africa

Thaicom 6 is mainly for replacement to Thaicom 2 which would be shifted toward Thailand's second satellite orbital slot.

When the new satellite is already in operation by 2013, all the Thai customers in Thaicom 5 would be transferred to Thaicom 6, thus freeing lots of C-Band capacity in Thaicom 5, both Regional and Global beams.

So, those clients who had approached Thaicom many months back, but told that no capacity available, then it's the right time to negotiate with Thaicom's sales people.

You may contact Mr. Handeil Magnanao to this e-mail address: handeilm@thaicom.net, or you may call him directly to this number: +66892014368.

Those who are in the Middle East or in the Northern parts of Africa are welcomed to invest in Thaicom 6.

Any investor in these parts of the region who have planned for DTH business, you have 3 months (starting today) to decide to present to Thaicom PLC your required number of Ku-Band transponders dedicated only to those mentioned coverage.

It's the cheapest and a great way to acquire a Ku-Band capacity in Thaicom 6 intended for those regions.

Securing your satellite capacity needs for 2013 and beyond before launching the satellite is the most prudent decision you can do today for your planned DTH business before this year ends.

So, hurry now!

Thaicom PCL to Launch Thaicom 6

Attention Satellite Service Providers!

This information is from a very reliable source inside the said company mentioned below.

This is to formally informed you that Thaicom PCL are curently working on the demand forecast for the new satellite (Thaicom 6), which is planned to be in operation in 2013 at 78.5 E.

The standard C-band footprint shall be similar to the one of Thaicom 5 (regional beam).

So, if you think you have the capacity need by that time, or at the latest, a year after, it's better to start talking now to Handeil - it's International Sales Account Manager via this e-mail: handeilm@thaicom.net, or you can call him directly on his mobile phone: +66892014368.

Securing your satellite bandwidth needs of the future before actually launching the satellite is the most intelligent approach you can do to benefit your satellite related business. Doing it later, surely, it will not only give headaches in the negotiations stage, but it will also give you worries of whether you can secure the capacity or not because of the tight competition for the same capacity as it happened in the past.

Time just flies, so make the first move now!
