Spacecom Wins $6.5 Million
Contract for
Ku-band VSAT Services in
Southern Africa
16 April 2013
Spacecom has won a
three-year contract worth
$6.5 million from one of
Africa's largest Internet
Communications Service
Providers (ISPs) for
provision of VSAT (Very
Small Aperture Terminals)
satellite services from the
AMOS-5 satellite located at
the
17°E
prime orbital position.
The
AMOS-5 Southern Africa
Ku-band beam will enable the
African ISP to offer VSAT
services to its enterprise,
commercial and public sector
customers in Southern
Africa.
"Africa’s data and
telecommunications markets
are rapidly expanding, and
we’re pleased to support
that growth by adding one of
Africa's largest ISPs to the
AMOS-5," stated Eyal Copitt,
Spacecom's senior vice
president of sales for
Africa, Asia and marketing.
"AMOS-5 is an all-around
solution for data clients
because its excellent
coverage, strong footprint,
and reliable and powerful
signals meet the
technological needs of data
carriers throughout the
continent. From 17°E,
AMOS-5's three Ku-band beams
and pan-African C-band beam
add value to a wide array of
data, telecommunication and
Internet providers, as well
as broadcasters."
