TELESPACE was established in 1980 in Toronto, Canada,
initially as a satellite control consulting company, providing
support to the Canadian Government and aerospace and telecommunications
industries. By 1985 the small company was becoming renowned around
the world and was invited by the Government of Brazil, INMARSAT
and EUTELSAT to assist them in their emerging communications
satellite programs. From then on TELESPACE grew rapidly, expanding
its consulting activities to cover all segments of a satellite
system, and playing a key role in the communications satellite
systems of many countries as well as regional and internatnaioal
satellite organizations.
In 1991 TELESPACE was hired by the Government of Thailand
to be the overall consultant for the new THAICOM communications
satellite project. The first THAICOM satellite was launched successfully
in December 1993 followed a year later by the second THAICOM
satellite.
In 1995 the national telephone company of Norway, Telenor,
has appointed TELESPACE as the overall technical consultant for
the Thor II and Thor III communications satellite programs. Both
satellites were launched and deployed successfully, respectively
in 1997 and 1998, and now TELESPACE is working on the next generation
satellite Thor IV which will incorporate the latest Internet
technology.
Along the way TELESPACE has helped Israel launch its first
communications satellite AMOS and supported other major satellite
telecommunications organizations and launch service providers
around the world, as well as several Internet service providers
and financial institutions funding new satellite ventures.
Today, having participated in many of the world's communications
satellite programs, TELESPACE has become one of the leading satellite
communications consulting companies, active in North and South
America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. |
