Arabsat and ONT (Office National de la Telediffusion) have signed an agreement to launch a Tunisian broadcast platform on Arabsat Badr-4 at 26°E.
The platform will be operational by Q2 of this year and will allow Tunisian and regional broadcasters to have direct access from Tunis to the growing 26°E neighborhood with coverage encompassing the MENA and western Europe.
“This platform is the result of a long-term cooperation between Arabsat and the Office National de la Telediffusion Tunisien (ONT), said Khalid Balkheyour, CEO of Arabsat.
“It will enhance our relationship with Tunisia, where Arabsat is already present through our satellite control station as well as the headquarters of our strategic partner ASBU.
“Expanding our cooperation with Arabsat will enable us to meet our customers needs. We believe the 26°E neighbuorhood will continue its growth through the addition of exclusive TV channels respecting the traditions of the region,” added the CEO of ONT Dhaker Baccouch. ?
Rohde and Schwartz will be doing the installation and commissioning of the platform.
