Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat), the UAE's premier satellite solutions provider, has entered into a partnership with SATCOM Technologies to explore fresh satellite communications prospects in Zimbabwe

This collaboration marks a significant stride in Yahsat's ongoing expansion across the African continent, facilitating pivotal economic sectors, governmental bodies, and organizations to leverage satellite connectivity. Yahsat's strategic alliance with SATCOM Technologies aims to bolster its footprint in Africa, with a shared objective of closely engaging with the Zimbabwe Government. Operations are slated to commence in June.

Under the service partner agreement, Yahsat and SATCOM Technologies will combine their expertise to pursue government initiatives by delivering innovative, dependable, and efficient satellite-driven connectivity solutions tailored to Zimbabwe's national imperatives and developmental aspirations, potentially revolutionising the country's connectivity and technological landscape.

The partnership seeks to address the escalating demands of diverse sectors including mining, agriculture, healthcare, and education.

Sulaiman Al Ali, chief commercial officer of Yahsat, remarked, "We are proud to partner with SATCOM Technologies to deliver our cutting-edge satellite connectivity solutions to Zimbabwe. This strategic partnership is a testament to our commitment to enhancing connectivity across the continent, supporting the digital transformation journey of African nations, and improving access to essential services for all."

Tafadzwa Collins Semu, CEO of SATCOM Technologies, said, "We are excited to join forces with Yahsat to unlock the immense potential of satellite connectivity in Zimbabwe. Our partnership will play a pivotal role in bridging the digital divide, fostering economic growth, and enabling access to vital services for our communities."

Yahsat's innovative and advanced solutions have been embraced across numerous African nations, bolstering economic progress and facilitating connectivity in areas previously underserved or unserved. This role is anticipated to be further strengthened with the forthcoming launch of the Thuraya 4 satellite later this year.

The next-generation satellite will extend coverage and advanced services to the African continent, heralding a new era of connectivity. The collaboration with SATCOM Technologies reaffirms Yahsat's commitment to empowering digital transformation across the continent, facilitating crucial services such as telemedicine and e-learning.

Yahsat is currently showcasing its cutting-edge satellite communications solutions at GITEX Africa 2024, in Marrakech, Morocco, from 29 to 31 May.
