Romania Cable Systems (RCS), the country’s largest DTH, has signed a multimillion dollar contract with Intelsat for additional capacity on the IS 10-02 satellite in order to expand RCS’ business outside Romania. The additional capacity will be used to offer an expanded DTH bouquet to viewers in Hungary and Slovakia, which are two new markets for RCS.

RCS currently offers approximately 60 channels of primarily European and North American programming on the IS 10-02 satellite, which has carried the platform since its launch in 2004.
