JSat-3A

JSat-3, orbiting at 128°E, offers the deepest reach into Asia. Countries as far West as Afghanistan and Pakistan can be reached via a single hop from Hawaii using JSat-3. the satellite was designed to relay voice, data, and television signals via Ku-band to eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and India; and via C-band to eastern and southern Asia and Hawaii.

JSat-3 has a C-band payload consisting of 12 active transponders operating at 36 MHz, powered by 34-watt solid-state power amplifiers. JSat-3's Ku-band payload has 12 active transponders operating with 36 MHz of bandwidth, and 16 active transponders operating with 27 MHz. JSat-3's configurable payload design allows the interconnection of up to 10 C-band uplink channels to Ku-band downlink channels, and 10 Ku-band uplink channels to C-band downlinks.
