Nilesat 301

Once in its operational geostationary orbit, Nilesat 301 will be parked 22,000 miles over the equator at 7 degrees longitude. The satellite has a design life exceeding 15 years.

The satellite will be co-located with the Nilesat 201 satellite at the 7 degrees west position, providing Ku-band services for the Middle East and North Africa. The Nilesat 301 spacecraft will also extend Nilesat’s communications and direct broadcasting coverage to new parts of Africa, and provide broadband Ka-band connectivity over all of Egypt, according to Thales.
