The National Communications Authority (NCA) of Ghana hosted a delegation from the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) on a benchmarking visit in Accra, aimed at strengthening regulatory collaboration and knowledge exchange in satellite communications services.
The visit is part of TCRA’s broader efforts to gain deeper insights into the regulation of emerging satellite technologies and services.
Welcoming the delegation, the Deputy Director General in charge of Technical Operations (DDG-TO) at the National Communications Authority (NCA), Mr Suleman Salifu, highlighted the rapid evolution of satellite technologies and the need for robust regulatory frameworks that support innovation while safeguarding national interests.
He noted that the satellite ecosystem has evolved significantly from traditional geostationary satellites to newer Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) systems, creating new opportunities and regulatory considerations for communications authorities globally.
The collaboration between Ghana and Tanzania reflects an emerging trajectory in Africa’s satellite policy landscape, where regulators are increasingly expected to converge on flexible, innovation-ready frameworks for evolving satellite architectures.
This shift underscores a growing need for cross-continental knowledge sharing and the harmonisation of best practices, as regulators balance advancing digital connectivity with safeguarding national priorities.
