SES-9 is a geostationary satellite designed to provide communications connectivity over Southeast, Asia, India, Australia and the Indian Ocean. SES 9's Ku-band communications payload will broadcast television programming across Southeast Asia, replacing the NSS 11 satellite launched on a Proton rocket in 2000. SES 9 will be the company's largest satellite serving the Asian market, according to Halliwell. Up to 22 million homes across the Asia-Pacific, clustered in countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines and India, will receive high-definition television programming via SES 9. The new telecom platform will also connect ships in the Indian Ocean to communications networks and provide in-flight entertainment for airline passengers in Southeast Asia.
