Something wrong happened on Saturday above the Earth! Contact with the Israeli communications satellite Amos 5 was lost on Saturday 21th November.
\nLaunched in 2011, Amos 5 was in geostationary orbit over Africa. Its coverage extends over Africa, Europe and Middle East. This satellite is regarded as playing a major role in Africa\u2019s emerging satellite services market. Indeed, the satellite generates more than 40 million US dollars in Internet and TV orders.<\/p>\n

For the moment, specialists don\u2019t know what happened: \u00a0a mechanical failure, a short circuit, or being struck by a meteor or space junk are all possibilities.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, we have the solution! Thanks to our partner Arqiva, we replaced our big 16.4 meters Antenna which was focused on Amos 5<\/strong> toward the Eutelsat E8W<\/strong> satellite.
\nWe have taken all the necessary arrangements and ours customers won\u2019t see the difference.
\nWe are currently working with Eutelsat as well to propose you our best coverage for Africa, with more than 10 satellites. Find below the E8W coverage, which we recently start to use:<\/p>\n

Indeed, with a recent reprogramming of new space craft on iDirect HUB, and thanks to Eutelsat, we still cover all African continent on C-Band (picture above), Ku-band and Ka-band. Let show us our satellite coverage which allow you to benefit on the best connection as possible.<\/p>\n

Ku-Band coverage:<\/u><\/p>\n

Eutelsat 16A \u2013\u00a016 East<\/p>\n

Telstar T11-N \u2013 37\u00b0 West<\/p>\n

As you can see, we have a full African coverage<\/em><\/p>\n

After Amos5 accident, we took all ours precautions to ensure all the C-band connectivity on the ground. We tried to quickly provide a fast and reliable connection and minimize all the network crashes. If you were impacted by this connection gap, we apologize and warrant our best quality services since Amos5 stopped working.<\/p>\n

Quelque chose d\u2019inhabituel s\u2019est pass\u00e9 samedi dernier dans la stratosph\u00e8re ! Le contact a \u00e9t\u00e9 perdu avec le satellite Isra\u00e9lien Amos 5\u00a0 samedi 21 Novembre.
\nLanc\u00e9 en 2011, Amos 5 \u00e9tait en orbite au-dessus du continent Africain, mais sa couverture allait bien plus loin, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire en Europe et au Moyen Orient\u00a0; jouant un r\u00f4le central dans l\u2019expansion des t\u00e9l\u00e9communications satellitaire en Afrique. De plus, Amos 5 c\u2019est plus de 40 millions de dollars en droit TV et connexion internet.<\/p>\n

Pour le moment, m\u00eame les sp\u00e9cialistes ne savent s\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019un probl\u00e8me technique, d\u2019un court-circuit ou bien l\u2019objet d\u2019une collision avec un ast\u00e9ro\u00efde.<\/p>\n

Quoi qu\u2019il en soit, nous avons la solution\u00a0! Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 notre partenaire Arqiva, nous avons replac\u00e9 notre antenne de 16.4 m\u00e8tres de diam\u00e8tre\u00a0qui \u00e9tait jusqu\u2019\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent tourn\u00e9 sur Amos5, par le satellite E8W d\u2019Eutelsat. Nous avons pris les pr\u00e9cautions n\u00e9cessaires et nos clients ne verront aucunes diff\u00e9rences.
\nNous travaillons avec Eutelsat main dans la main pour vous proposer la meilleure couverture r\u00e9seau possible en Afrique, avec plus de 10 satellites en orbite. Voyez ci-dessous la carlingue\u00a0du satellite E8W.<\/p>\n

\"e8wb\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s le r\u00e9cent incident d\u2019Amos5, nous avons pris toutes nos pr\u00e9cautions pour continuer \u00e0 diffuser la bande-C. Nous continuons \u00e0 fournir une connexion rapide et fiable et minimisons les crashs ind\u00e9pendants de notre volont\u00e9. Si vous avez \u00e9t\u00e9 impact\u00e9 par cet incident nous nous en excusons et garantissons nos meilleurs services possibles.<\/p>\n
