Asia Broadcast Satellite's flagship satellite at 75°E covering Asia, the Middle East, and Africa with C and Ku-band capacity. ABS-2 occupies one of the most strategically valuable slots in the Asian geostationary arc — the 75°E position provides strong coverage from Eastern Europe to the Bay of Bengal, serving markets spanning three continents from a single orbital location. Its mixed C and Ku-band capability makes it versatile across broadcasting, enterprise, and maritime markets.
