Optus D11

**B52** · 20-02-23, 10:47 PM

First operator in the world to utilise the Ku band (11-14GHz) spectrum for the software defined VHTS in both broadcast and broadband services. Optus 11 will also provide greater coverage than our previous satellites, with a reach from Antarctica to the Cocos Islands and covering a vast majority of the Pacific region. It will have the ability to cover oceans previously out of reach to Optus and provide tracking spot beams coverage to planes and vessels anywhere within the Optus 11 footprint. Lunch is scheduled later this year replacing D1 at 160.0°E.

What bothers me is it has over 1500 beams so If I get this right they will stuff the feed hunters. Yes Optus 11 will live at 160 Deg East, D2 and D1 will be replaced so nothing on Position where D2 use to live (152 Degrees East)
