SAT-GE, a New Company, to Offer Satellite Capacity across the Pacific

GE International Holdings Inc., a holding company for the
satellite businesses of General Electric Company, is now engaged in
business in Asia under the name of SAT-GE. SAT-GE offers unparalleled
satellite capacity across the Pacific region using the GE-23 satellite
(former name AMC-23).

GE-23 encompasses 6 individual beams, 5 Ku-band and 1 C-band, that
give almost total coverage of both land mass and ocean from Perth in
Australia to Los Angeles in the USA and from Alaska to South New
Zealand. GE-23 offers Ku-band cross connectivity capability between
multiple beams and in C-band, a single trans-Pacific beam allows
simultaneous uplink and downlink from anywhere within the beam.

Manufactured by Alcatel Space, a series 4100 spacecraft, with a
minimum useful life of 15 years, GE-23 was launched on the 29th of
December 2005 and operates from an orbital slot at 172 degrees east.
It is ideally positioned to deliver internet applications, data and
telecommunications services via VSAT and broadcast programming for
cable and satellite communities.

GE-23 is the renamed AMC-23 satellite, which was recently
transferred from SES to GE following the closing of a broader
transaction between GE and SES.
