Scheduled to begin service in 2011 at 17°E — a new orbital slot over Africa — the AMOS-5 satellite will position Spacecom at the forefront of Africa’s emerging satellite services market.

Once in orbit, the AMOS-5 satellite will feature a fixed pan-African C-band beam and three steerable Ku-band beams — all covering Africa with connectivity to Europe and the Middle East and supporting multiple transponders in both C-band and Ku-band.

might soon be testing,
