Spacecom has announced that Amos-7 is now providing a wide range of TV and data communication services from its 4 degrees West hot spot orbital position.
Co-located with Amos-3, it is replacing Amos-2, which is reaching the end of its life after 13 years.
Amos-7’s Ku band transponders and four steerable beams cover Europe, Middle East and parts of Africa, thereby offering services to Spacecom’s existing and new customers in CEE, Africa and the Middle East.
Commenting on the development, Jacob Keret, Spacecom’s senior VP sales, said: “Amos-7 creates a stronger presence at our 4 degrees West orbital position. Adding further redundancy to our system, the satellite is a key element in expanding our multi-regional growth patterns and enhancing the array of communications – broadcast, broadband and data – that we can provide.”
