Eutelsat Group has signed a multi-year agreement with Q-KON to expand Low-Earth Orbit satellite services across Sub-Saharan Africa. The company aims to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity to underserved businesses and communities, especially in Southern Africa. The expanded partnership with Q-KON builds on the successful 2023 integration of Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO satellite connectivity into Q-KON’s Twoobii Smart Satellite Services and the February 2024 launch of digital banking services. “We value our continued partnership with Eutelsat and are excited to take this next step in expanding and scaling up our LEO satellite services across Southern Africa,” said Dr. Dawie de Wet, Group CEO of Q-KON. We are excited to continue to work with Q-KON as it leverages cutting-edge satellite network solutions to meet the challenging demands for low-cost, high-availability, and trusted services in Africa.”
