THAICOM 7 satellite fully booked

Grant Investrade, a subsidiary of Hinduja Ventures Ltd which is part of the global Hinduja Group, confirmed the order for the C-band transponders on the satellite for the broadcasting of digital cable TV services through a Headend-In-The-Sky (HITS) system. 

“It is one of India’s national missions to roll out Digital Addressable Systems (DAS) of broadcasting all over the country,” said Tony D’Silva, managing director at GIL. “Thaicom is a trusted and experienced satellite provider which has played a vital role in this initiative and the substantial number of satellite transponders we have at the time of launch will continue to grow as we expand our portfolio.”

Thaicom’s CEO Paiboon Panuwattanawong said that the new broadcasting platform would also support the next satellite to be launched.
