Satellite

The DMC has it’s own permanently leased satellite capacity on Telstar 12 (15° West), with coverage suitable for primary distribution across all of Europe, parts of the Middle East and South Africa. This capacity is accessed through two uplink locations in the Netherlands, one at the DMC in Amsterdam and one in Helmond.

The DMC also operates uplinks to Astra 1 (19.2° East), on behalf of the UPC Direct platform, which covers central Europe.

Downlink coverage at the DMC is excellent and allows access to all major distribution satellites, for delivery of Sports programming.
