AMOS 17 was to replace the failed AMOS 5 satellite, and is a multi-band high-throughput, state-of-the-art satellite. It features a Ka-, Ku- anc C-band communications payload. It was built on the Boeing BSS-702MP bus and covers all of EMEA, with the Ka-Band steerable beams able to provide services from Asia in the east to Brazil in the west.
