Eutelsat's satellite at 174°E covering the Asia-Pacific — one of Eutelsat's most remote positions, far from its European core market. The 174°E slot provides coverage of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, and eastern Australia where Eutelsat competes with regional operators for maritime, government, and broadcasting services. This far-flung position reflects Eutelsat's ambition to be a truly global operator rather than a purely European one.
