Orbit’s MPT30 terminal delivered a 140 Mbps+ forward link and a 40 Mbps+ return link during the AMOS-17 trials.
Orbit’s MPT46 terminal delivered a 50 Mbps+ return link with ample fade margins during the AMOS-17 trials.
AMOS-17 was designed with On-The-Move requirements and powerful steerable Ka-band spot beams that provide coverage-on-demand via manual or automated beam steering.
Spacecom and Orbit completed a series of performance tests of Orbit’s MPT30 and MPT46 terminals using Spacecom’s AMOS-17 satellite Ka-band.
AMOS-17 provides steerable Ka-band spot beams with 1 to 1,000 MHz bi-directional spot beam capacity for high-capacity data and video connectivity with compact terminals.
AMOS-17 combines extensive C-band and Ka-band high-throughput satellite capabilities with Ku-band to maximize throughput and spectral efficiency.
Spacecom redirected a Ku-band beam on its AMOS-17 satellite to the Indian Ocean on 2022-05-12 to pursue future maritime growth opportunities after securing its first maritime customer.
The Ku-band transponder is one of 18 transponders aboard AMOS-17 and previously provided services over east and southern Africa across land and sea.
A maritime customer is using AMOS-17’s Ka-band to connect superyachts in the Indian Ocean.
AMOS-17 was launched in 2019 to provide broadcast and broadband services across sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.
The redirected Ku-band beam on AMOS-17 enables Spacecom to provide up to 2 gigabits per second of capacity over the Indian Ocean region.
Spacecom has been awarded a multi-million contract from Get SAT to support Satellite-on-the-Move (SOTM) communication networks via the AMOS-17 satellite.
Spacecom’s AMOS-17 Ka satellite was used with a steerable beam pointed to the flight area in Southern Spain and cross-linked to a fixed beam serving the SkyEdge II-c Hub.
Utilizing AMOS-17’s HTS C-band beams enables KBC to optimize operational expenses and realize network performance improvements.
The Get SAT Micro Sling Blade ESA test using AMOS-17 achieved 5 Mbps forward throughput and 25 Mbps return throughput.
The Micro Sling Blade Ka-Band SOTM terminal test on AMOS-17 was hosted at the SMS Teleport in Rugby, United Kingdom.
Get SAT tested its Micro Sling Blade Ka-Band Satcom-On-The-Move terminal on AMOS-17’s digital Ka-Band.
Get SAT selected AMOS-17 to test its newest electronically steered antenna (ESA).
Spacecom provides services in Africa with its Amos-17 spacecraft.
Spacecom owns and operates the AMOS-3, AMOS-4, AMOS-7, and AMOS-17 satellites.
