PanAccess’ Nigerian Broadcast Bouquet Now On Amos-17 Ku-Band

TEL AVIV — Spacecom (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: SCC), operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, today announced that it is providing Ku-band capacity from its AMOS-17 communication satellite to PanAccess, a leading German broadcast services company, for broadcasting to Nigeria.

PanAccess’ growing broadcast bouquet, originating in Germany, consists of dozens of channels and is broadcast free-to-air from the satellite located at the 17°E orbital position over Africa. PanAccess specializes in providing high-end one-way or two-way CAS and DRM security solutions around the globe. It offers a seamless service portfolio for consumers using any device.

According to Roland Schlichting, PanAccess CEO, “We are thrilled with Spacecom’s response speed that enabled us to be on-air quickly and efficiently. PanAccess views the growth of our broadcast base in Nigeria as an important market and we will continue to add more channels for these customers.”

Spacecom VP Sales, Eyal Altshuler commented, “Working in tandem with PanAccess, we succeeded in bringing their bouquet onto the air in less than 48 hours after we began designing their solution.
