Space Communication, the operator of the AMOS satellite fleet and a communications satellite operator in the Middle East, European Union and North America, has been appointed to provide broadcast capacity for the 29th Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) which will be held South Africa from January 19th to February 10th. The AMOS-5 satellite of Spacecom will broadcast all games from all five South African stadiums in high definition using its pan-African C-band at 17 degrees East.
AMOS-5 is known as the prime mover of African sporting events since it launched its operations in January of last year. The communications satellite has transmitted the recent South African Super Rugby Games, as well as the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games from London to Africa. AMOS-5 provides high-quality HD transmission of sporting events both on ad hoc and occasional use bases.
AMOS-5 supports Africa using a high power pan-African C-band and three Ku-band beams that cover the whole continent together, with connectivity to Europe and the Middle East. The state-of-the-art satellite is rapidly being recognized as a key carrier of African satellite communications traffic in both broadcast and data services.
