Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are revolutionizing the way institutions think about connectivity. Unlike traditional geostationary satellites, which orbit at around 36,000 km above Earth, LEO satellites operate at altitudes of about 1,000 km above the earth. This proximity enables them to deliver low-latency, high-speed internet.

The NWR Mile 108 fishing camp is located in the protected Dorob National Park (“dry land”) in the Erongo area along the central Namibian coast.
The main reason to visit Mile 108 is that it is one of the most popular fishing spots and offers some of the wildest beach fishing you will ever experience. There are even some opportunities for rare sightings of some birds and wildlife such as the shy Brown Hyena that can sometimes be spotted scavenging along the beach.

Satellite technology is rapidly evolving, bringing new possibilities for connectivity across Africa. With the launch of mega-constellations like those from Starlink and OneWeb, high-speed internet could soon reach the remotest regions.

NWK, South Africa’s oldest agricultural company and known for its extensive retail network mainly in the North West in South Africa, has teamed up with BCX and Q-KON to revolutionise its communication capabilities. With the group’s main objective to trade in agricultural and related products, aids and services at a retail level, and often in rural and “off-grid” locations, they needed an uninterrupted internet solution.

ICASA is set to transform South Africa’s satellite landscape with a new licensing framework that could pave the way for major players like Starlink to enter the market. Stay tuned as the regulatory shake-up promises to simplify approvals and address high spectrum costs, potentially reshaping satellite communications in the region.

The satellite industry is experiencing a dynamic transformation with the rapid development of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations like Starlink and OneWeb, alongside traditional Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites. Led by advancements in launch technology and propelled by innovative applications, this sector is poised for substantial growth and strategic evolution in global communications.

In the context of Satellite technology innovations, industry alignments and constellation developments, what does multi-orbit services mean for Africa? How could these services impact the connectivity landscape in Africa, and will multi-orbit satellite services deliver significant value in Africa? We consider these dynamics and provide an on-the-ground perspective.
