W2 satellite provides a fixed widebeam coverage, spanning Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and a steerable coverage.
Ten channels can be individually configured for operation via either of the two coverages. The remaining channels are connected to the Widebeam, which on the downlink is more concentrated than the widebeam coverages of W1 and W3, offering enhanced capability for television and multimedia broadcasting.
The steerable coverage is positioned over the Indian Ocean for broadcasting digital television services to Mauritius and Reunion Island and includes a large part of south-eastern Africa.
W2 is scheduled to be replaced in the next couple of years.
