The National Institute of Radio and Television of Peru will use Intelsat SA technology to enhance its digital terrestrial television offering in Peru and to help distribute its programming internationally.
Under an expanded multiyear agreement, TV Perú renewed C- and Ku-band services on Intelsat 14 to distribute HD and standard-definition programming to its television stations and affiliates in Peru, in addition to providing contribution services for sports and news gathering.
The Peruvian TV broadcaster will also utilize C-band satellite services on Intelsat 11 to launch a new international HD channel in Peru. "The reach of Intelsat 11 will enable TV Peru to cost effectively expand its content distribution to other parts of South America, North America and Europe," the company said in a Nov. 13 news release.
The National Institute of Radio and Television of Peru, also known as TV Perú, is the largest broadcast television network service in Peru with 300 TV stations.
