Emerging Trends

Supporting Africa growth with satellites

300 million people are over 50 km from fibre or

cable broadband connection

The greater the distance the worse the connection

quality.

400 million people have no internet access at all

10% more broadband connectivity equals 1.38%

increase in GDP for developing nations.

Broadband cables are expensive to install

Fibre bridges the digital divide between the

Western World and Africa, but does not bridge the

digital divide within Africa between urban and non-

urban areas.

Satellite provides efficient way of connecting

the majority of the 700 million unconnected

people

Satellite also has the advantage of reach, providing

an efficient way of connecting the majority of the

poorly connected people.
