Orange will leverage satellite operator OneWeb’s growing low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to improve and expand its high-speed connectivity services in Africa, among other regions of the world.

“At Orange, we believe that satellite is a promising and complementary technology that showcases many recent innovations that will benefit businesses around the world and accelerate the digital inclusion of populations within our subsidiaries in Africa and the Middle East,” said Jean-Louis Le Roux, director of international networks and services, Orange.

The partnership with OneWeb should enable Orange to improve the quality and coverage of its telecom and internet services in its various African markets. It should also enable the company to improve the Orange Business offer for the benefit of large, small, and medium-sized enterprises thanks to high-speed, resilient and low-latency solutions.
