Using updated compression technology, the Azerspace 1 satellite will allow local TV and radio networks to reduce the usage of the spacecraft\u2019s resources while broadcasting in high quality.<\/p>\n<p>The satellite was designed both for commercial and governmental purposes with 80 percent of its resources being allocated for commercial and 20 percent for Azerbaijan\u2019s needs.
