Spacecom (AMOS)

Spacecom (Space-Communication Ltd.) is a fixed-satellite service provider headquartered in Israel. It operates as a midstream player in the aerospace value chain, managing a fleet of geostationary communication satellites to provide broadcast, broadband, and data transmission services to telecommunications companies, government agencies, and private corporations. The organisation functions as a regional infrastructure backbone for terrestrial networks and direct-to-home television providers. The organisation is best known for the AMOS (Affro-Mediterranean Orbital System) satellite series. Its active fleet includes AMOS-3, AMOS-7, and the high-throughput AMOS-17 satellite, which provides multibeam coverage across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Spacecom has historical and ongoing industrial relationships with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for satellite manufacturing and has utilised various international launch providers to deploy its orbital assets. Prospective partners should verify the specific orbital slots and frequency bands available for their target region, as coverage varies significantly between the C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band payloads on different AMOS units. It is also necessary to confirm the remaining operational lifespan of specific satellites within the constellation and the company's current regulatory standing regarding international landing rights for satellite signals.
