This is the second time SES has launched on a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket,
and is SESs fourth launch with SpaceX. The high-powered communications
satellite built by Airbus replaces C-band capacity for AMC-18 and Ku-band
capacity for AMC-15 at the 105 degrees West orbital slot.
SES-11 is designed to accelerate the development of the US Prime video
neighbourhood and the delivery of high definition (HD) and ultra-high
definition (UHD) channels. It offers comprehensive coverage over North
America, including Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean. The satellite's C-band
capacity is optimised for digital television delivery, and will join SES-1 and
SES-3 at the centre of SESs North American orbital arc which reaches more
than 100 million TV homes and has 100% penetration in the US.
