Stephen Beynon, CCO of OneWeb, commented: “This new partnership presents us with the opportunity to bring connectivity to people, businesses, and governments across Africa. iSAT Africa has laid the groundwork in getting many people connected, and they are well positioned to expand their network and geographical reach with enterprise-grade service and product portfolio of OneWeb.
Rakesh Kukreja, CEO and MD of iSAT Africa, said: “We are thrilled to partner with OneWeb to bring reliable and high-speed broadband connections to underserved areas in Africa. This partnership is a big step towards closing the digital divide and giving people and businesses all over Africa more power. With OneWeb’s cutting-edge LEO satellite technology and iSAT Africa’s expertise in integrated communications services, we are well-equipped to offer innovative solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers in Africa and beyond.”
