LEO satellites provide high-speed internet even in areas where terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure such as fibre and mobile broadband is difficult and expensive to deploy.“To keep customers and businesses connected at all times, we’re going to have to embrace satellite as an additional technology form,” Mupita said in a media call.
“We are exploring several, and actually some of them we’re happy to be resellers through our enterprise business to some of our customers in specific countries,” Mupita said.Vodacom Group, MTN’s most direct rival and majority owned by Britain’s Vodafone Group, announced a partnership with Amazon’s Project Kuiper LEO satellite system last year.
