MSTelecom will utilise the Angosat-2 telecoms satellite to improve broadband connectivity services in Angola.

The company signed a memorandum of understanding with the Angolan National Space Program Management Office (GGPEN). Under the terms of the agreement, MSTelecom will integrate its fibre optic and microwave transmission networks into the GGPEN satellite platform. This will accelerate the ISP’s network coverage to reach more people.

The Angolan government aims to use satellite technology to accelerate the country’s development by improving the quality and coverage of telecoms services. Several connectivity projects have been launched since January 2023.
