T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s homegrown Turksat 5A communications satellite continues to improve the nation\u2019s broadcast quality by operating on the Ku band, placing T\u00fcrkiye among the few countries utilizing this high-frequency electromagnetic spectrum for communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu told Anadolu that Turksat 5A has been in orbit since 2021, with the Ku band offering higher bandwidth for better resolution broadcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Using current technologies, approximately 36 megahertz of bandwidth is required for an 8K resolution television broadcast, and with the Turksat 5A’s offerings, we have seen an increase in such high-definition broadcasts, marking an important milestone for T\u00fcrkiye and Turksat’s quality of broadcasts,” Uraloglu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted that the satellite enables broadcasts and data communications across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the three seas surrounding T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Turksat 5A offers effective solutions in international markets and it is used in maritime activities with the increased quality provided by the fifth-generation technology of our satellite,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Significant revenues in exports were also seen, especially from Saudi Arabian satellite operator Arabsat, who receive services from the Turksat 5A satellite,” Uraloglu added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister emphasized that the fifth-generation satellite has a lifespan exceeding 35 years due to its electric propulsion system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Turksat 5A has secured T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s frequency and orbital rights at the 31 degrees East orbit until 2056,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The electric propulsion system of the satellite did away with the amount of fuel that would otherwise be necessary to maneuver the craft, thereby reducing mass, which was replaced by a higher capacity via the added equipment in the place of lessened fuel,” he added.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
