KA-SAT is a new high-throughput satellite launched by Eutelsat that provides broadband internet services across Europe. It has 80 Gbps of capacity, 35 times more than traditional satellites. KA-SAT uses new technology like spot beams and IP/MPLS networking to provide affordable broadband access to both consumers and businesses in areas underserved by terrestrial networks. Its user terminals are inexpensive and easy to install, bringing broadband connectivity to millions of new users.
