ABS, a global satellite operator and Telespazio Brasil announced they have signed a 5 year capacity contract for the satellite ABS-3A, West Hemi C-band beam.  

Under the multi-year agreement, Telespazio will use the C-band beam for its offshore services for the Oil and Gas market segment.

Serving a wide range of maritime and offshore oil installations, Telespazio delivers critical communication solutions to enable day-to-day operations required to connect users from the most remote locations and waters across the world.
