Agility Beyond Space and Levira partner to expand video distribution across Eurasia and neighbouring markets

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.

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.”

DUBAI, DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- DUBAI and TALLINN, 10th September 2026

Agility Beyond Space and Levira 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.
Agility Beyond Space brings satellite capacity, regional coverage and a working video ecosystem at the
75°E orbital position. Levira brings deep experience in video distribution, channel origination, content
processing and managed broadcast operations.

One satellite that covers a vast geographic area
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.

A neighbourhood broadcasters already know
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.

A European gateway into Eurasia and beyond
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.

One partner, end to end
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 Agility Beyond Space, the partnership strengthens its position at 75°E, attracts new international
and regional channels and adds value across the ABS-2A service. For Levira, it extends managed video
services into one of the world’s largest and most geographically diverse broadcast markets.

What’s in it for end customers?
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.

“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,”
said Mark Rigolle, Chief Executive Officer, Agility Beyond Space.

Tiit Tammiste, Chief Executive Officer, Levira added: "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."
