- Strengthening a longstanding partnership and underscoring the strategic importance of Eutelsat’s flagship 16° East video neighbourhood
Eutelsat and A1 Group have renewed a multi-year, multi-transponder agreement, reaffirming the company’s long-standing commitment to Eutelsat’s flagship 16° East video neighbourhood. The renewed capacity supports A1 Group’s delivery of the technical DTH television platform for A1 Croatia, as well as technical services, including signal transport, uplink and encryption, for multiple TV broadcasters across Europe.
Under the agreement, A1 Group will continue to leverage multiple transponders at Eutelsat’s 16° East orbital position to distribute a broad portfolio of premium television channels and services to households across Croatia and CEE. The agreement ensures the continued delivery of high-quality broadcast services and reinforces 16° East as the leading satellite neighbourhood for video distribution across Central and Eastern Europe. With extensive coverage across the region, Eutelsat’s 16° East position reaches more than 80 million DTH, cable and IPTV homes and carries over 600 television channels.
Jakub Brzeczkowski, RVP Sales Video Europe at Eutelsat, said, “We are delighted to extend our successful collaboration with A1 Group. This renewal underscores the enduring value of our 16° East video neighbourhood, which remains the leading satellite hotspot for broadcasting audiences across the Balkans and wider Central and Eastern Europe.”
Elena Petrova, Head of Group Content and Media Solution at A1 Group, added, “The renewal of our agreement with Eutelsat reflects the importance of satellite broadcasting in delivering a high-quality television experience to our customers across Croatia and CEE. Eutelsat’s 16° East neighbourhood offers outstanding coverage, reliability and access to a vibrant video ecosystem, enabling us to continue providing viewers with the content they value most.”
