French satellite operator Eutelsat has moved its Eutelsat Hot Bird 13D telecommunication satellite from its 13 ° E orbital position to a new 33 ° E position where it will work under the name Eutelsat 33E. He will provide television and data transmission services and will provide broadcasts and coverage in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
Eutelsat 33E is a relatively new satellite. He was raised in February 2009 with the Ariane 5 ECA. The satellite is equipped with 64 Ku-band transponders of different bandwidths - 16, 18, 24, 33 and 36 MHz.
In the main area of coverage, the satellite Eutelsat 33E covers primarily the Mediterranean countries. In Poland better reception is possible in the southern part of the country.
The Eutelsat Hot Bird 13D satellite at 13 ° E was acquired by Eutelsat Hot Bird 13E, formerly Eutelsat 9A working at 9 ° E. At 9 ° E, the new Eutelsat 9B satellite is currently in operation.
