Eutelsat Group and InterSAT have announced an expansion of their long-standing partnership through a new multi-year agreement that secures additional Ku-band capacity on the EUTELSAT 7C satellite.
The renewed collaboration aims to enhance fixed data services across Central and Eastern Africa, addressing growing demand for reliable, high throughput connectivity in underserved and remote regions.
Alongside this new deal, InterSAT has also renewed its existing capacity lease on the EUTELSAT 70B satellite.
Discussions are underway to further enrich InterSAT’s offering by adding low-Earth orbit LEO capacity from OneWeb, part of Eutelsat Group, particularly for markets in East Africa.
InterSAT, a major player in Africa’s satellite communication sector, delivers Internet via Satellite IvS services to enterprises, government institutions, and other key sectors across the continent.
The extension of its capacity agreements reinforces its commitment to offering high quality, dependable broadband services that bridge digital divides in even the most remote corners of Africa.
Furthermore, Eutelsat Group’s unique suite of in orbit assets and ground infrastructure enables it to deliver integrated solutions to meet the needs of global customers.
The Company is headquartered in Paris, and the Eutelsat Group employs more than 1,500 people across more than 50 countries.
The Group is committed to delivering safe, resilient, and environmentally sustainable connectivity to help bridge the digital divide. The Company is listed on the Euronext Paris Stock Exchange ticker: ETL and the London Stock Exchange ticker ETL.
