AngoSat-2, Angola’s second communications satellite, is now ready for use after successfully undergoing a series of tests.

The satellite’s services are expected to cover the whole of the African continent and a significant part of southern Europe in C-band. It will also provide almost complete coverage of southern Africa in Ku-band.

Its commissioning should contribute to the development of telecommunications, agriculture and other sectors of the Angolan economy, in a context marked by the acceleration of digital transformation. The new infrastructure should also allow Angola to be autonomous in terms of space technology while strengthening its position in the African market.
