Intelsat 5's C-band

Main transponders	21
Backup transponders
Power	Global, hemispheric and zone beams: 8.5 W (TWTA) Spot beam: 4.5 W
Bandwidth	36 and 72 MHz
Coverage and EIRP max	Global: 23.5 dBW Hemispheric and zone: 29 dBW
Polarization	circular R/L
Frequencies	3.7-4.2 GHz
Beacons	3.9475 & 3.9525 GHz RHCP

First generation with orthogonal polarizations. Together with the use of 2 separated hemispheric beams more frequency space could be saved.
