Global IP

Description

Global IP was established with the aim of building a state-of-the-art IP network, based on our first high capacity satellite, GiSAT-1, dedicated to the Sub-Saharan region.

Enabling affordable broadband access – a key driver to economic growth – to over 800 million people in 39 countries in the region, our network is built around our 150 Gbps Ka satellite, which is larger than all other Ka satellites located over Africa, combined.

We believe in being agile and flexible, and are committed to always being a step ahead of changes in the market, able to invent services, solutions and business models that best meet our customers’ needs. In order to fulfill this commitment, we have undertaken the ambitious task of building our own satellite, which is being constructed by Boeing, in accordance with our specifications and the needs of the market. GiSAT-1 which is scheduled for launch early 2019 has a new digital payload, and offers twice the capacity as previous digital payload designs.
