376 Satellite, THAICOM, Thailand's First Domestic Satellite System

Mindful of the growing population and business base in Thailand, Shinawatra Computer and Communications Co. Ltd (SC&C) signed a contract with Hughes Space and Communications Company, today Boeing Satellite Development Center, in October 1991 to develop the country's first dedicated communications satellite system. Two satellites, light-weight versions of Hughes' popular Hughes 376 model, were ordered to be built and delivered in 24 and 28 months, respectively. The system was named THAICOM by His Majesty King Bhumiphol, to symbolize the link between Thailand and modern communications technology.
