A new service on ABS-2A pairs an established line-up of channels and coverage across 11 time zones with Levira’s European uplink and broadcast operations.
TALLINN and DUBAI, 10 September 2026 – Levira and Agility Beyond Space have formed a strategic partnership to give broadcasters and content owners a single video distribution service on the ABS-2A satellite. Its Northern Ku-band beam is one of the largest in the world, covering 25 million square kilometres across 11 time zones — a sixth of the planet’s land mass — giving audiences across the whole footprint a reliable, scalable connection.
The partnership joins the complementary strengths of two established infrastructure providers. Levira brings deep experience in video distribution, channel origination, content processing and managed broadcast operations. Agility Beyond Space brings satellite capacity, regional coverage and a working video ecosystem at the 75°E orbital position.
ABS-2A’s broad Northern Ku-band footprint reaches dispersed markets across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus and beyond from a single satellite. In a region spanning many countries, time zones and terrestrial environments, that simplicity counts. Broadcasters can simplify their setup instead of stitching together several satellites, uplink sites and country-by-country delivery arrangements.
ABS-2A sits at 75°E to give video and direct-to-home services room to grow, and its Northern beam already carries many television services and channels. Broadcasters joining inherit a ready-made foundation: installed dishes, familiar operations and an audience that already tunes in across the region.
Levira completes the route with broadcast infrastructure and uplink capability in Estonia. Content from Europe and other international markets can be received, processed, managed and uplinked from Levira’s facilities for onward distribution over ABS-2A.
For European broadcasters and content owners, it’s a simple way in: a familiar service base at home, with direct access to a satellite built to serve the region.
The joint platform offers an integrated service covering content contribution, channel origination, encoding, multiplexing, uplink, satellite capacity and continuous operational support. Customers work with one coordinated distribution partner instead of managing multiple technical providers and separate regional arrangements.
For Levira, the partnership extends managed video services into one of the world’s largest and most geographically diverse broadcast markets. For Agility Beyond Space, it strengthens its position at 75°E, attracts new international and regional channels and adds value across the ABS-2A service.
Broadcasters and content owners gain a clear, efficient way into these markets: European broadcast expertise, an established base of channels and viewers, and regional reach across one vast, reliable satellite footprint.
“This partnership lets us take everything Levira does well, managed, dependable video distribution, into one of the most technically demanding parts of the world to serve. Broadcasters get a single point of accountability from content processing through to uplink, and immediate access to an established audience on a proven satellite platform,” said Tiit Tammiste, Chief Executive Officer, Levira.
Mark Rigolle, Chief Executive Officer, Agility Beyond Space, added:
“With Levira, we can give broadcasters one clear path into Eurasia and its neighbouring markets — from studio to screen. It strengthens our position at 75°E and adds value for every channel we carry.”
