Middle East remains key market for ABS, says CEO

ABS recently invested in developing new teleport and ground capabilities at its strategic teleport in Cyprus.

Global satellite operator ABS, which has a significant presence across the EMEA region, will be at CABSAT again.

With its fleet of five satellites, ASB offers high-powered and wide-reaching capacity across a range of bands, including C-, Ku- and Ka-band, to support several applications. These include cellular backhaul, corporate private networks, governmental and NGO networks, IP trunking, maritime, and broadcast/ video contribution services.

To further strengthen its presence in the region, ABS recently invested in developing new teleport and ground capabilities at its strategic teleport in Cyprus.

The facility provides customers access to every beam on ABS-3A (3°West), ABS-2 and ABS-2A (75°East), and ABS-4 (61° East), as well as secure and resilient hosting for its customers’ platforms and ground equipment. Beyond Cyprus, ABS provides eight gateway options, three of which are strategically located in the EMEA footprint.

Speaking about the event, Amit Somani, CEO of ABS, said: “The MENA region remains one of the most exciting regions for the satellite industry and we are in a fortunate position given our wide-ranging capacity here. We are proud to have served our customers and partners across many verticals to meet their critical connectivity needs for several years and remain committed to meeting the region’s demands in the future. While our success to date has been enabled by having reliable and flexible satellite capabilities in the right place, our agile business models and our unwavering customer focus continues to position us as a partner of choice both regionally and globally.”
