Eutelsat has finalised a deal with Italy's Telespazio for control and commercialisation of the European Mobile Satellite (EMS) payload, developed by the European Space Agency and carried on the Italsat F2 satellite, pictured on a Spelda dual-satellite container before its 1996 Ariane launch. The voice, fax, data, messaging and positioning service will complement Eutelsat's Euteltracs road haulage management system.
