About ASTRA Broadband Services
Behind ASTRA2Connect is a company with unmatched experience in satellite TV and data communications.
In partnership with your local services provider, your ASTRA2Connect service is operated by ASTRA Broadband Services, a part of SES ASTRA, based in Betzdorf, Luxembourg.
ASTRA has a fleet of 15 satellites in five orbital “hot spots” providing TV, radio, multimedia, and data services to countries all across Europe and beyond. SES ASTRA is a subsidiary of SES, a global satellite communications organisation with 40 satellites reaching 99% of the world’s population.
