Signalhorn secures AMOS-5 Ku-band capacity from Spacecom for African broadband solutions

Satellite operator Spacecom recently announced that it will provide Ku-band capacity from its AMOS-5 communications satellite to Signalhorn for the latter company's broadband Internet-by-satellite services in the African market.

Based in Europe, Signalhorn offers satellite communications solutions to customers in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. It will use the new capacity it acquired from Spacecom to provide satellite broadband connectivity to Southern African retail businesses.

According to Signalhorn, its tailored enterprise communications solution requires a high-speed Internet-by-satellite service that can be reliably accessed throughout a majority of Southern Africa. Signalhorn selected the AMOS-5 Ku-band platform operated by Spacecom to help the former company deliver end-to-end solutions to its clients.

Spacecom and Signalhorn joined forces in developing a data communications solution that can cover Africa. AMOS-5 once more places itself at the service of communication service providers and broadcasters throughout the southern half of the African continent.

Entering commercial operations in January 2012, AMOS-5 serves as a prime carrier of African satellite communications traffic. From its 17°E orbital slot, the Spacecom satellite directs C-band and Ku-band beams that deliver broadcast and data services throughout Africa on behalf of companies like Signalhorn.
