NSS-6 is a communications satellite owned by SES.
NSS-6 covers the whole of Asia with six high-performance K<sub>u</sub> band beams, which can deliver broadband media to small businesses, ISPs or domestic rooftop antennas in those markets. The satellite delivers Direct-To-Home power and performance, as well as significant inter-regional connectivity. High-gain uplink performance (i.e. high receiver G/T figures) allows the use of small uplink antennas and/or amplifiers.
