Spacecom

What Spacecom does

Spacecom (legal name Space-Communication Ltd., TASE: SCC) is an Israeli fixed-satellite operator founded in 1992 and headquartered in Ramat Gan. The company operates a fleet of geostationary (GEO) satellites — AMOS-3, AMOS-4, and AMOS-17 — providing C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band coverage across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Its flagship asset, AMOS-17 (launched August 2019 at 17°E), is a Boeing-built digital high-throughput satellite (HTS) with C-band spot beams and a design life extending beyond 2040. Spacecom has expanded its offering through a strategic partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb, enabling hybrid GEO-LEO multi-orbit connectivity solutions (branded Smart Multi-Orbit) that combine GEO reliability with LEO low-latency performance.

Spacecom generates revenue predominantly through long-term, recurring satellite capacity and managed-service contracts with telecom operators, broadcasters, governments, and enterprises in verticals including maritime, mining, oil & gas, banking, and agriculture. Beyond raw transponder leasing, the company sells Spacecom PLUS (a Virtual Network Operator managed service built on iDirect Evolution), Space Defender (cybersecurity-as-a-service), GovNet (sovereign digital resilience for governments, launched June 2026), and the Digital Community Platform. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a VNO partner/reseller channel and active participation at industry events across Africa, Europe, and Asia.

In 2025, Spacecom reported USD 88.7M in revenue, ~USD 22M net profit (its first profitable year), and ~75% EBITDA margins, supported by a USD 72M order backlog. The company completed a major debt restructuring in November 2025, reducing total debt from ~USD 396M to ~USD 140M alongside a USD 21M rights offering. Eurocom is the controlling shareholder, with Hungarian IT group 4iG Plc holding approximately 20%.
