On the Final leg of the 5G transition

We are wrapping up the last of the C-band repack as SES and Intelsat shoehorn the final networks into the remaining C-Band spectrum.  It's getting crowded and noisy in that space and we are doing our best to keep Intelsat and SES honest and keep the quality we have had for years intact.

Current SES1 transponder 23 is troublesome on the West coast.  We are seeing poor quality on the Oxygen feed.  Transponder 17 has been in worse shape since Hallmark channels moved there last year.

The biggest 5G c-band clearance project  was the replacement of our old Simulsat 5 with a new Simulsat 5G.   See the swap from link below.
