AsiaSat is making steady progress with the finishing works and pre-opening testing and commissioning of its new Tai Po earth station. Operation is expected to start in January next
year.
The new Satellite Control Centre will be manned 24/7. Duplicating many of the circuits and facilities currently provided by the Tracking, Telemetry & Control station in Stanley, the new earth station will strengthen AsiaSats service integrity and reinforce the companys commitment to service reliability and quality.
With the new facility and the new satellite AsiaSat 4 in place, AsiaSat will be able to offer customers a range of additional value-added services including uplink and back up.
