Deal With Telenor Gives Spacecom Foothold in North American Market

摘要

Spacecom Ltd., the Tel Aviv-based owner and operator of the recently launched Amos2 communications satellite, has secured what executives here hope will become an expanding bridge connecting the Middle East and Europe to North America's Eastern corridor. Under a cooperative agreement, Telenor-USA Satellite Services of Rockville, Md., has erected a 9-meter antenna at its Southbury, Conn., teleport facility to support Amos2 operations in the United States and Canada. The agreement obliges Spacecom to dedicate at least two of Amos2's 22, 36-megahertz, Ku-band transponders to the teleport for uplink and downlink sendees provided by Telenor-USA.
