Africa’s digital leap won’t happen on fibre alone — and satellites are quietly becoming the continent’s most strategic back-up plan and launchpad in one...
Africa’s connectivity challenge remains vast and varied. Where do you see the largest gaps and which of those can satellite technology realistically address first?
Infrastructure remains the greatest challenge across Africa, although regulation and affordability also add significant complexity. Satellite connectivity can directly strengthen infrastructure by improving reliability, interconnecting countries and gateways, and providing both primary and backup links that accelerate development.
Could mega constellations rewrite Africa’s future?

Africa is stepping into a new era. One defined not by the limits of its geography, but by the vast possibility of its skies. Mega satellite constellations could be the breakthrough that transforms connectivity from a stubborn challenge into a catalyst for continental acceleration.
A continent on the edge of a connectivity revolution
Standing on the outskirts of Nairobi, it’s not uncommon to see a teenager balancing a smartphone and a textbook, searching for an evasive and unreliable signal.
