Spacecom, the AMOS satellites operator, announced Sept 7 that it has secured six Romanian customers in 2006, adding to its share in the market.

AMOS satellites’ hot-spot, located at 4 degreesWest, makes it especially attractive for Romanian operators of TV channels requiring content distribution to cable head-ends. Spacecom’s customer base includes Realitatea TV, Telesport, Money Channel TV, B1TV, MTV Romania and Romania’s emerging DTH platform, BOOM TV, broadcasting on AMOS since April 2006. The channels join Romanian AMOS platforms including Showtime TV, Aflux TV, AlphaTV, SensoTV and TVRM.

Spacecom’s AMOS satellites serve this wide range of Romanian channels with services ranging from permanent space segments to capacity for contribution and occasional use. AMOS also provides the platform for a much-needed long-distance education application to the Spiro Haret Open University and its students.
