Eutelsat
supports Co-op Cable in launching
expanded DTH offering across the
Caribbean
21 April 2026
Eutelsat
announced a new partnership with Co-op
Cable, introducing an expanded
direct-to-home (DTH) and connectivity
offering across the Caribbean using the
EUTELSAT 65 West A (E65WA) satellite.
Through this
initiative, Co-op Cable is enhancing its
service portfolio to deliver bundled
television and internet services,
combining high-quality satellite TV
distribution with advanced GEO-based
connectivity. The solution is designed
to address the growing demand for
reliable entertainment and broadband
services across the region, particularly
in areas where traditional
infrastructure remains limited.
This collaboration
reinforces EUTELSAT 65° West A as a
strategic platform for video services in
Latin America and the Caribbean,
enabling operators to scale efficiently
while ensuring consistent service
quality across geographically diverse
markets.
By leveraging
Eutelsat’s GEO infrastructure, Co-op
Cable will expand its reach to
households and hospitality providers,
contributing to broader efforts to
bridge the digital divide in the
Caribbean by extending connectivity to
remote and underserved communities.
José Ignacio
González-Núñez, SVP Americas, Video
Business Unit at Eutelsat, said: “This
partnership with Co-op Cable highlights
the versatility of our GEO
infrastructure to support both video and
connectivity services. By combining DTH
television with broadband capabilities,
we are enabling operators to deliver
more value to their customers while
expanding access to essential digital
services across the Caribbean.”
Richard Rawlins,
CEO of Co-op Cable, Inc., added: “Our
partnership with Eutelsat on the 65 West
platform has been transformative for
Co-op Cable and the communities we serve
across the Caribbean. Through this
collaboration, we are delivering
high-quality satellite television to
homes and hospitality providers
throughout the region, bringing
world-class content to markets that have
historically been underserved. As we
look ahead, we are excited to be working
with Eutelsat to extend this partnership
beyond video into satellite broadband,
with the goal of bridging the digital
divide in the Caribbean by delivering
affordable, reliable internet
connectivity to even the most remote
communities. This is just the beginning
of what we believe will be a long and
impactful relationship.”
