Sirius Business

In 2003, AMTC began reselling Sirius Satellite Radio's music channels to business customers, under the brand name Sirius Business. Under this arrangement, AMTC pays a monthly fee to performing rights organizations such as ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, to ensure that customers can legally play the music in a business setting. The channels available via Sirius Business are identical to the channels available to consumer subscribers but are licensed for business audio use.

AMTC claims [4] that the high look angle of Sirius' satellites, coupled with the site diversity provided by multiple satellites and a network of terrestrial repeaters, virtually eliminates rain fade. The highly elliptical orbit of the Sirius satellite constellation can pose difficulties for the reliable delivery of the signal stationary antennas in certain parts of the country. Sirius has developed an antenna placement guide to help optimize antenna placement for the unique orbital pattern of their satellites. Sirius has also vastly increased its network of terrestrial repeaters and intends to launch a geostationary satellite [5] to augment signal strength for non-mobile customers such as those of Sirius Business. The launch is scheduled for 2008. Additionally, the Sirius Business package can be accessed over the Internet using Sirius' online streaming technology, ensuring that any business with a broadband Internet connection can receive the service even if it lies in an area where Sirius satellite reception is impaired. In satellite communications, look angle refers to the Azimuth and Elevation of a satellite dish. ...
