Satellite footprints also called coverage is the Zone where the satellite's signals can be received. 

NSS-7

High-powered Ku- and C-band services from the hottest location for trans-Atlantic connectivity. NSS-7 is a major, state-of-the-art, hybrid Ku- and C-band satellite located at 338º East over the Atlantic Ocean, providing coverage of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.

The world's leading contribution satellite

NSS-7 at 338° East is located at the world's premier orbital location for video contribution. Its extensive coverage of the Atlantic Ocean region makes it an ideal satellite for bringing programming from media hubs in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America into the East Coast of the U.S, for onward continental distribution via domestic satellites. Likewise, media companies with bureaus in the U.S. can use NSS-7 to contribute programming to their home studios in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America—and other Atlantic region locations--through the use of either Ku-band antennas at their remote facilities, or via the Washington Mediaport's uplink services. A DVB MCPC platform into NSS-7's Europe-Middle East beam offers a cost efficient, high-performance alternative to SCPC circuits.

Distribution into Africa

NSS-7 is capable of delivering video signals into West Africa at DTH-type power-levels. DVB MCPC platforms into the Ku-band West Africa beam and the C-band South East Zone beam into southern Africa offers media companies added opportunities for extending the reach of their French- and English-language channels to burgeoning audience markets at reasonable cost.

For ISPs and Network Providers

North American Internet backbone connectivity into Europe, the Middle East and Southern Africa

ISPs and network providers interested in providing North American Internet backbone connectivity to Points of Presence in Europe, the Middle East and Africa can rely on established DVB platforms on NSS-7’s Ku-band Europe/Middle East beam, and C-band South East Zone beam into Southern Africa.

The Europe/Middle East spot is capable of reaching the entire European sub-continent as far west as Moscow, south through the whole of the Black Sea region, and throughout all of Mediterranean North Africa.

NSS-7’s C-band coverage via the South East Zone beam provides connectivity to any of 42 countries from southern Morocco to Somalia, and all points South.

Features

Some of the features NSS-7 offers:

complete coverage of Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East from a single location; connectivity from the heartland of the Internet to the edge of the Web; high-powered Ku-band coverage for broadcasters and ISPs; among the best connectivity options on the market. NSS-7 also provides high-powered Ku-band coverage of Western and Southern Africa for DTH services; extensive tailored Ku-band coverage of South America, including a new Southern Cone spot beam for the Mercosur region; a Caribbean/Andean spot beam; and extended North American Ku-band coverage for Northeast Canada.
