Starting its operational services in January 2010, AMOS-5i provides powerful Pan-African C-band and regional Ku-band coverage from Spacecom’s new orbital location at 17°E.

AMOS-5i will be replaced by AMOS-5, scheduled for launch in 2011, commencing operational services by mid 2011 at 17°E. The AMOS-5i and AMOS-5 satellites will enhance the AMOS satellite fleet coverage over the Middle East and Europe, while adding the emerging African markets to our service portfolio.

AMOS-5i offers a pan-African C-band beam and two regional Ku-band beams. With multiple C-band and powerful Ku-band transponders, AMOS-5i enables Spacecom to offer a variety of satcom services, including:

• VSAT Communications and Broadband Internet
• Rural Telephony
• Data Trunking
• Cellular Backhaul
• Direct-To-Home (DTH) TV Broadcasting
• Video Distribution

With a new orbital slot, additional capacity and expanded coverage areas, the AMOS-5 satellite and its predecessor, AMOS-5i, will place Spacecom at the forefront of satellite operators delivering comprehensive global satellite solutions.

Together with the AMOS-2 and AMOS-3 satellites co-located at Spacecom’s 4°W orbital "Hot-Spot", the AMOS-6 satellite scheduled to launch to 4°W in 2012, and the AMOS-4 satellite scheduled for launch in 2012 to serve Asia, we are extending broadcast and broadband reach into the rural regions of the world.
