1968

A participant in over 60 INTELSAT earth-station projects

You have probably heard the name INTELSAT (International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium), founded in 1965. It is an international organization that promotes international communication using satellites. INTELSAT covers a huge area of the globe, making it natural for demand for earth stations development in this enormous market. Mitsubishi Electric could not let an opportunity this size pass. The result? Mitsubishi Electric began with the Mexico earth station in 1968 and went on to build over 60 earth stations around the world by 1990. The achievements illustrates clearly how Mitsubishi Electric's superb technology defined the global standard for INTELSAT earth stations.
