Telespazio Brasil, a subsidiary of Telespazio, signed a five-year capacity contract for capacity on the ABS satellite ABS-3A, for West Hemi C-band beam. Companies announced the deal on Feb. 3. 

Under the multi-year agreement, Telespazio will use the C-band beam for its offshore services for the oil and gas industry.

“Telespazio is an important partner of ABS across the globe, and in particular in Brazil where it operates multiple services on our ABS-3A C- band West Hemi beam. Beside our wide coverage, our space segment capacity is commercially and technically ideal when coupled with Telespazio’s advanced value- added solutions, customer service and overall expertise to win major projects in the oil and gas sector,” said Amit Somani, CEO of ABS.
