Spacecom’s AMOS-5 satellite, serving Africa from the 17°E orbital position with C-band and Ku-band beams, recently began commercial operations. IO Sat is utilising ample capacity on the satellite's C-band beam to offer an array of data, voice and video applications to clients requiring services in Africa.
Ofer Kastner, CEO of satellite broadband data services provider, IO Sat, said, "AMOS-5's position over Africa enables our clients to cover the entire continent, which is a very effective proposition for their businesses. We are helping small and medium sized businesses by providing communications services based on our capacity. We find the AMOS-5 is prime real estate when working with African communications providers."
Eyal Copitt, Spacecom's Senior VP for Africa Sales, said, "AMOS-5 aims to be a leading provider of traffic for African communications in both broadcast and data services in the years to come. Our work with IO Sat is a good indicator of the communications services that we enable and we look forward to building more relationships throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa via the AMOS-5's capabilities."
