AMOS-7 will supply satellite services to BTC's VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) network throughout all of Botswana.

Spacecom will be providing BTC with highest efficiency satellite capacity alongside migrating the existing network towards next generation VSAT technology.

Utilising the AMOS-7 KU-band Africa beam, BTC high-speed VSAT services will realise increased bandwidth and better service availability. Spacecom's new Vertical Solution Division is said to be leading migration and professional services for the VSAT network.

Peter Olyn, GM Technology at BTC, said, “Spacecom brings us an inclusive solution for our entire VSAT business. Spacecom’s strong beam enables us to further an already impressive lineup of services for our growing business and consumer markets to reach throughout Botswana. We look forward to more growth with Spacecom as our satellite communications partner."

Jacob Keret, SVP sales of Spacecom, commented, "AMOS-7's Africa KU-beam provides us with solid opportunities in sub-Sahara Africa with our new contract with BTC reinforcing the AMOS brand in Southern Africa. We are excited to commence our business relationship with BTC and support their new network in Botswana.

“Spacecom's new business division is proving its worth to our partners at BTC. Being able to offer more in this growing market is an important tool in our business development and in supporting our clients with additional market growth opportunities," Keret added.
