Intelsat has introduced the Intelsat EpicNG satellite platform, a new series of satellites based upon a high performance, open architecture design. Intelsat EpicNG will be deployed for wireless and fixed telecommunications, enterprise, mobility, video and government applications requiring broadband infrastructure across the major continents.

The Intelsat EpicNG platform is an innovative approach to satellite and network architecture utilising multiple frequency bands, wide beams, spot beams and frequency reuse technology. A complementary overlay, Intelsat EpicNG will be fully integrated with Intelsat’s existing satellite fleet and global IntelsatONESM terrestrial network.

“The Intelsat EpicNG platform represents the next generation of satellites, a progressive evolution of the Intelsat fleet,” said Intelsat Chief Executive Officer Dave McGlade. “As the global demand for bandwidth surges and penetration of communications reaches ever further into developing regions and mobile applications, we are strategically investing in this platform to support our customers with a highly reliable and efficient broadband infrastructure as they launch new services and enter new geographies.”
