Orange Côte d’Ivoire has unveiled Orange Sat, a satellite broadband Internet service developed in partnership with Eutelsat, representing a significant milestone in the operator’s commitment to digital inclusion across the nation.
Orange Sat utilises Eutelsat’s KONNECT satellite platform to extend high-speed Internet access beyond the reach of fibre and mobile networks, specifically targeting rural and hard-to-access areas. The service completes Orange Côte d’Ivoire’s connectivity portfolio, combining fibre, mobile broadband, and now satellite, to address the geographical and economic realities of the country.
The launch of Orange Sat comes ahead of expected satellite Internet competition from providers such as Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper. By establishing its satellite offering early, Orange strengthens its position in Côte d’Ivoire’s internet market whilst demonstrating its commitment to nationwide connectivity.
“Our ambition: to connect all Ivorians, wherever they are,” Orange Côte d’Ivoire stated, underscoring the company’s vision for comprehensive digital inclusion across the nation.
