The Fuchsstadt earth station is an earth station in the Lower Franconian district of Bad Kissingen in the municipality of Fuchsstadt. It was built by the German Federal Post Office and is now operated by the US company Intelsat. The Fuchsstadt earth station serves as a ground station for communication with communications satellites and enables, among other things, satellite-based telephone calls, Internet connections and television broadcasts. Until the 1990s, Fuchsstadt was an important hub in the global communications network; this importance has been lost because the vast majority of continental and intercontinental messages are now exchanged via fiber optic cables.
