Its replacement, Telstar 14R\/Estrela do Sul 2, is scheduled to launch May 21. Telesat said the new satellite would offer customers important advantages relative to Telstar 14, including significant additional capacity, improved geographic coverage and higher power.<br \/>\n\u201cLatin America is a highly attractive market for satellite communications and this is especially true in Brazil with its strong economic growth and vast regions that lack reliable connectivity. We look forward to working with Hughes in meeting the growing demand for satellite broadband networks across Brazil,\u201d said Nigel Gibson, vice president of international sales for Telesat.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The growth of Hughes\u2019 solutions and global services to enterprises and government organizations in Brazil and the Africa\/Middle East region has helped the company boost its international revenues during the past few years. At the end of 2010, Hughes\u2019 international enterprise revenues increased to $205.6 million, partially offset by delays in customer buying decisions that impacted new hardware orders, the company said in last year\u2019s financial results.<\/p>\n<h2>\nRelated Stories-<\/h2>\n<p>\n<b class=\"titlelink\">SS\/L Delivers Telstar 14R to ILS Ahead of Schedule<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tApril 26, 2011<br \/>\n[04-26-11] Space Systems\/Loral  (SS\/L) has delivered the Telstar 14R\/Estrela do Sul 2 satellite to the  Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan ahead of schedule, the manufacturer  announced April 25.
