The Eutelsat W6 satellite is covering most parts of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Especially the most requested countries like Iraq and Afghanistan have a very good signal quality for higher modulations.

We currently run four different networks on Eutelsat W6. Two iDirect Infinity networks, one for low band and for for high band LNBs as well as two networks for iDirect Evolution hardware.
