Таблица The main technological innovation of Amazonas Nexus is a new generation Digital Transparent Processor (DTP), which will allow for greater geographical flexibility in response to potential changes in the commercial scenario. This component will allow the satellite payload to be processed digitally, allowing it (once again) to assign the necessary capacity in-orbit at any given time, giving the satellite greater resilience to changes in the communications market both in terms of connectivity and data, as well as content transmission. Among the satellites in the HISPASAT fleet, Amazonas Nexus is considered the most efficient due to its advanced design, HTS capacity, and versatility.
