Brazilian communications satellite operated by Embratel Star One, providing C and Ku-band services across Latin America. Brazil is South America's largest satellite market — a country whose size, geographic diversity, and persistent connectivity gaps between urban centers and interior make satellite television and broadband economically essential. Star One C2 distributes Brazilian and international programming to cable headends and enterprise data users across the continent.
