Ramat Gan - Apr 5, 2002
AMOS, an Israeli company offering direct, high-power links between the US, Europe and the Middle East, announced today that its new AMOS-2 satellite will be available for pre- launch sale at this year's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show in Las Vegas.

Co-located at 4 degrees West longitude with AMOS-1, the AMOS-2 satellite will offer hot beam coverage of Europe and the Middle East, cross-strapped to accommodate direct access from the Eastern United States. This connectivity is ideal for broadcasters and programmers with material originating in the US but destined for distribution in Europe and or the Middle East in DTH quality.

"The configuration of this satellite provides all the advantages of high power, regional distribution -- without the need to purchase a backhaul satellite or terrestrial feed from the US," says David Pollack, Managing Director & CEO of AMOS. "We believe this is the first time a company outside the US or Europe has offered connectivity that was specifically designed and placed in orbit to link these three key markets."

The AMOS Ku-band satellites feature up to 54 dbW at beam center, for state-of-the-art digital TV distribution to cable headends, DBS and direct-to- home TV. AMOS broadband services also include IP connectivity, distribution to local ISPs and business data transmissions for private and public networks. Since the satellites are co-located, customers will have redundancy built-in, as well as the option for AMOS-1 customers to extend their contracts on AMOS- 2.

"The advanced digital engineering on AMOS-2 is quite exciting -- it's designed to deliver excellent quality," Pollack continues. "And, our prices are very competitive."

The new capacity on AMOS-2, which is scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2003, will be available for sale at the AMOS booth at NAB (booth no. S8819) located in the Sands Convention Center, as well as via GSatX, the Global Satellite Exchange.

US customers requiring immediate access to AMOS' unique coverage in Europe can take advantage of a packaged service which includes access to AMOS-1 space segment and fiber between Washington and Europe. AMOS also offers uplink services through agreements with a number of teleports in Eastern Europe.
