AMOS...Creates Hot-Spots, No Fire Needed (Sat Launch)
The AMOS-5i satellite began service in January 2010, with powerful C-band and Ku-band coverage over Africa. AMOS-5 is scheduled to replace AMOS-5i at 17°E in mid-2011, expanding both coverage areas and capacity, while delivering high-power C-band and Ku-band capacity to the entire African continent. AMOS-4, slated for launch in 2012 to serve Asia, together with AMOS-6 planned for launch in 2013 to enhance our Europe coverage, will establish Spacecom as an emerging global satellite operator.
The extensive signal strength and prime location makes the AMOS platform particularly suitable for DTH operators, TV broadcasters and programmers in distribution to cable head-ends, ISPs with broadband Internet and VSAT networks, Government organizations and professional services, VSAT operators and network integrators with Internet, voice, data and digital TV services.
