TEL AVIV - Spacecom, operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, will provide SPI International with a full service uplink, encryption, and capacity on the AMOS-3 satellite at the 4° West orbital position for SPI International's European activities. This multi-year, multi-million dollar deal provides services for SPI International's European HD and SD channels. Spacecom is working closely with TTCOMM, its partner in Poland, to provide this full solution. The contract was announced on May 4, 2015.
SPI International, an international media company, contributes an array of theatrical films and television programming around the world. In Poland, the company owns Kino Polska, a movie/TV series channel. Via AMOS-3, SPI International is contributing regular and premium bouquets including thematic premium content, currently on six HD and five SD channels, to Poland's cable companies and DTH operators. SPI International will use capacity on AMOS-3 to expand the reach of Kino Polska in Poland.
At 4°W, AMOS-3 is co-positioned with AMOS-2. This 'hot-spot' serves Eastern and Central Europe and the Middle East. In 2016, AMOS-6 will join the two satellites further strengthening the 4°W position. AMOS-6 will have a 16 year scheduled life span, and expand territories under current service by adding Western Europe and multi-beam coverage over parts of Africa to existing Central and Eastern Europe and Middle East coverage.
Spacecom is currently in the midst of a fleet expansion. The company intends to increase capacity and coverage to enter new markets - particularly in Western Europe, Africa and Russia - and increase its customer base. As part of the fleet expansion, Spacecom took delivery of Amos-5 in 2011 and Amos-4 in 2013. Amos-6 will be delivered in 2016. The company expects to make a decision regarding Amos-7 in the next year or two.
