Telesat and Panasonic sign new long-term contract

Panasonic Avionics Corporation has signed a long-term contract with Telesat for satellite capacity in the latter’s upcoming Anik G1 satellite. Just last June 2012, Panasonic also signed an agreement with Telesat for satellite capacity over the North Atlantic through the Telstar 11N satellite.

PAC is looking to expand its aeronautical broadband service across Latin America with the new agreements. The IFE supplier will combine capacity from Telstar 11N with that on the Anik G1 satellite which will replace the South American coverage provided by Telesat’s Anik F1.
