QO-100 band plan
Just in time for the 1-year anniversary of the successful commissioning of the two transponders of Qatar-OSCAR 100, an encore is pending: The capacity of the NB transponder will be expanded from about 250 KHz to almost 500 KHz!
Attentive observers have, of course, long since established that the passband of the NB transponder is actually larger than previously published.
