It should be noted that the geostationary satellite, produced by Thales Alenia Space for the Hispasat satellite operator, is designed to provide improved communication services in South and North America, as well as in the Atlantic, including for aircraft and ships.
Most of Hispasat’s revenues come primarily from Latin America.
