Eutelsat OneWeb is expanding its footprint in Africa, advancing its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite service to provide high-speed, low-latency internet across Angola, Botswana, and Zimbabwe
As part of its efforts, the company has been training local partners on the cutting-edge LEO technology in preparation for the network’s rollout.
Recently, Eutelsat OneWeb conducted a training session at the NEC XON facility in Midrand, South Africa, where its technical experts hosted representatives from Dandemutande Investments Private Limited, TelOne Zimbabwe, and Paratus Group. The session was designed to demonstrate the network’s capabilities and equip partners with the skills needed for user terminal installations, ensuring smooth service delivery across the region.
This initiative reflects Eutelsat OneWeb’s dedication to fostering local expertise as its LEO network becomes available. By empowering partners with in-depth knowledge of LEO technology, the company aims to accelerate the deployment of its satellite-based internet, improving connectivity for underserved communities and businesses throughout Africa.
