Satellite fleet operator Telesat of Canada on Nov. 11 said it would purchase a Ku-/ Ka-band broadband satellite, called Telstar 19 Vantage, to be stationed at 63 degrees west over Latin America now that it had secured an anchor customer in EchoStar's Hughes Network Systems. The announcement comes as Telesat's shareholders continue to debate the company's future ownership structure and an initial public offer of stock. Loral Space and Communications of New York - which is majority economic shareholder in Telesat but owns only a minority of voting rights - said Nov. 9 it is attempting yet again to persuade Telesat co-owner PSP Investments of Canada to move forward on an IPO. Germantown, Maryland-based Hughes, in its own announcement, said it had agreed to lease a large portion of Telstar 19 Vantage's Ka-band - a total of 31 gigabits per second of throughput-for 15 years, with the satellite to be launched in early 2018.
