Spacecom, operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, has launched a vertical solutions division targeting MNOs, government programmes, service providers and other commercial groups operating in what it says are the “fertile” data, mobile and video markets. 

The company claims the division will enable customers to reach a broader range of new business opportunities as they add complementary applications and push further into digital markets. 

Its first deal is a multi-year contract with an unnamed, “leading” Southern Africa VSAT services provider via AMOS-7.

Based on its growing satellite fleet, Spacecom says it is working with clients and partners to determine the optimal solution for the new services utilising capacity on AMOS-3, AMOS-4, AMOS-7 and AMOS-17, following the latter’s scheduled launch in 2019 to service Africa.

The company adds that it is partnering with select international and local vendors as well as integration, installation, operation and management experts on a case-by-case basis.
