Written by Black Hot Fire Network on April 15, 2024
SEACOM announced the launch of its all-new low earth orbit (LEO) satellite service, now available to enterprise clients. This service marks an evolutionary shift in connectivity in South Africa, complementing existing terrestrial broadband infrastructure and technologies.
The launch follows a two-year process of consultation with industry partners, during which SEACOM was involved in the purchase and installation of the first shipment of LEO satellite equipment into South Africa. LEO satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of 2,000 kilometers or less, offering crucial connectivity for economic-related activities like communication, transportation, and observation.
