Agility Beyond Space and Levira launch Eurasia video distribution service on ABS-2A

Agility Beyond Space and Levira have teamed up to offer broadcasters and content owners a single video distribution service on the ABS-2A satellite. The partnership links Levira’s European uplink and broadcast operations with ABS-2A coverage across 11 time zones, aiming to simplify delivery into Eurasia and neighboring markets.

Why it matters: - Broadcasters and content owners get a single distribution path into Eurasia and neighboring markets instead of managing multiple satellites, uplink sites and country-by-country delivery setups. - ABS-2A’s Northern Ku-band beam covers 25 million square kilometres across 11 time zones, giving the service reach across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus. - The partnership combines satellite capacity and regional coverage with European uplink and broadcast operations, which can reduce technical complexity for cross-border distribution.

What happened: - Agility Beyond Space and Levira formed a strategic partnership to launch a new video distribution service on the ABS-2A satellite. - The service uses ABS-2A’s Northern Ku-band beam at the 75°E orbital position. - Levira will provide European uplink and broadcast operations from Estonia. - The announcement was made on Sept. 10, 2026, from Dubai and Tallinn.

The details: - Agility Beyond Space brings satellite capacity, regional coverage and an existing video ecosystem at 75°E. - Levira contributes video distribution, channel origination, content processing and managed broadcast operations. - The integrated platform covers content contribution, channel origination, encoding, multiplexing, uplink, satellite capacity and continuous operational support. - ABS-2A’s Northern beam already carries many television services and channels. - Broadcasters joining the platform can use installed dishes, existing operations and an audience already tuned in across the region. - Content from Europe and other international markets can be received, processed, managed and uplinked from Levira’s facilities for onward distribution over ABS-2A. - Agility Beyond Space said the partnership strengthens its position at 75°E, attracts new international and regional channels and adds value across the ABS-2A service. - Levira said the partnership extends its managed video services into one of the world’s largest and most geographically diverse broadcast markets. - Agility Beyond Space is headquartered in Dubai and says it marks 20 years of service in 2026. - Levira is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and operates broadcast-critical infrastructure with 24/7 playout, encoding, content processing and signal delivery services.

Between the lines: - The deal appears designed to make Eurasian distribution look more like a managed service than a patchwork of separate technical handoffs. - ABS-2A’s broad footprint gives the partners a ready-made regional base, while Levira gives European customers a familiar on-ramp into that footprint. - The setup could appeal to broadcasters that want one accountable partner from content processing through uplink.

What's next: - The partners will use the combined platform to onboard broadcasters and content owners seeking reach across Eurasia and neighboring markets. - The service is positioned to expand the mix of international and regional channels carried over ABS-2A. - More information
