or 24 C-band transponders, or more for K_u/C hybrid satellites. Typical transponders each have a bandwidth between 27 and 50 MHz. Each geostationary C-band satellite needs to be spaced 2° longitude from the next satellite to avoid interference; for K_u the spacing can be 1°. This means that there is an upper limit of 360/2 =
