ABS-3 consisted of 30 C-band transponders at 27 watts and 24 Ku-band transponders at 110 watts, combining to 12 high-power 220-watt transponders. The total DC power at End of Life (EOL) was expected to be 8200 watts. The combination provides a power-to-mass ratio of 5:1, making ABS-3 one of the most efficient satellites in the industry. [5]
Agila is a communications satellite built by Astranis Space Technologies and operated by Orbits Corporation which is planned to serve the Philippines. History [ edit ]
It was built to manage the operations of Agila-1; the first Philippine-owned satellite. [3] In 2009, Mabuhay and Hong Kong–based ABS signed an agreement in which the former ceded all of its assets including the ground station and the Agila-2 satellite to the latter. [4] [5] [6]

The K u band (/ ˌ k eɪ ˈ j uː /) is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies from 12 to 18 gigahertz (GHz). The symbol is short for "K-under" (originally German: Kurz-unten), because it is the lower part of the original NATO K band, which was split into three bands (K u, K, and K a) because of the presence of the atmospheric water vapor resonance ...
ABS-3A is a communications satellite operated by ABS (formerly known as Asia Broadcast Satellite), providing coverage in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. [2] It is positioned in geostationary orbit at 3° West, and offers C and Ku-band payload capacity to support video, data, mobility and government applications.
The Ku-band had 249 transponder equivalents, for a total downlink bandwidth of 9,194 MHz. The Ku-band spot beams covered Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, while a wide beam was able to broadcast to Europe, Middle East and Asia. The Ka-band payload had 450 MHz of bandwidth on a global beam centered at its position. [9] [4] [5]
