Arabsat's newest satellite, positioned at 26°E — the 'Hot Bird of the Arab world' — where more than 500 channels are broadcast to over 100 million viewers. Arabsat-7B provides the next-generation capacity to support 4K and future 8K broadcasting as Arab audiences upgrade to higher-definition programming. The 26°E orbital slot has become the most-watched satellite position in the Arab world, rivaling Europe's Astra 19.2°E as a content concentration point.
