AMOS-5’s C- and Ku-band payload includes high-power 14x72 MHz and 4x36 MHz C-band transponders that, combined with 18x72 MHz Ku-band transponders, will enable it to be a prime carrier of African satellite communications traffic in broadcast and data services in the years to come. AMOS-5’s pan African C-band covers the entire continent, while its three Ku-band beams bring connectivity to the continent’s fastest growing regions: Francophone, Central and Southern Africa. Prior to launch, Spacecom pre-sold more than 50 percent of AMOS-5 capacity to a variety of customers, including broadcasters, telecom providers, communications companies and government agencies.
