The Eutelsat 21A satellite covers most parts of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa
Countries like Iraq and Afghanistan have a strong signal quality for higher modulations.
We currently run four different networks on Eutelsat 21A. Two iDirect Infinity networks, one for low band and one for high band LNBs as well as two networks for iDirect Evolution hardware.
