Please note I have no experience of this company or the new service described here. Previous details here which had a link to the wrong beam coverage and service have been replaced.
Satellite now called EurasiaSat-1 (Turksat-2A)
The satellite coverage map shows the download beam from the Turksat 2A satellite located at 42 deg east orbit longitude. The downlink power contours range from 54 dBW EIRP (the small circle around Uzbekistan) to 40 dBW on the outer contour shown in 2 dB steps. Each 2 dB step down requires a dish 1.25 times larger diameter.
