Kenya Broadcast Corp.'s Signet DTT Connects to AMOS-17 HTS Satellite in Spacecom's Kenya Project 03.11.2021 TV and Radio Coverage for Kenya and South Africa
Tel Aviv -November 3, 2021: Spacecom (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: SCC), the satellite services provider and owner-operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, today announced that Kenya Broadcast Corporation's Signet DTT (digital terrestrial TV) service is now being broadcast via the advanced AMOS-17 HTS (high throughput satellite) digital satellite. Spacecom's also provided an array of on-the-ground professional services that quickly and efficiently migrated Signet's DTT service to AMOS-17.
KBC's Signet broadcasts over 70 TV stations and a host of radio channels throughout Kenya and into South Africa.
Utilizing AMOS-17's HTS C-band beams, KBC optimizes OPEX (operational expenses) and realizes significant network performance improvements.
In addition, Spacecom's satellite services division provided full turn-key service migration to 38 sites and a teleport, without loss or interruption of service, all in less than three weeks.
Oren Tepper, Spacecom Global Vice President sales, stated, AMOS-17's strong C-band HTS beams improved signal quality and optimized spectrum utilization so that Signet could quickly and easily upgrade content quality and service levels. For this project, Spacecom's professional services teams achieved a record migration of Signet's services with no service interruption. We are thrilled to work with KBC's Signet team and look forward to a strong relationship.
According to Job Karimi, Technical Services Manager of KBC, To further improve of our service delivery, we migrated our satellite infrastructure to AMOS-17, thereby realizing huge savings in operational costs. Thanks to AMOS-17's HTS capabilities, we were able to create optimal link margins to our remote transmission sites.
Karimi added, The migration turnaround time was under very short timelines. Amazingly their highly skilled team and ours seamlessly migrated 38 sites within three weeks without interrupting our transmission schedule. Furthermore, they have been very supportive in our day to-day operations and are constantly looking into other areas of collaboration to further strengthen our relationship. They are our strategic partners and very core in achieving our mandate.
