Liquid Telecom to launch African VSAT service
Pan African broadband provider Liquid Telecom plans to launch a satellite service targeting business owners across the continent. In a conversation with ITWeb Africa, Ben Roberts, the acting CEO and CTO at Liquid Telecom, said that the company’s very small aperture terminal (VSAT) offering is a slight tweak on a previous service. He also added, “It’s a cost effective dish that you will have on your home or business.”
He went on to say that the company is set to cover southern and eastern Africa with the new product. Last year in November, Liquid Telecom partnered with Newtec Company, which offered thousands of VSAT terminals for Liquid Telecom.
“By offering Liquid Telecom our cost effective VSAT terminals as part of our scalable network solution, attractive IP-based services will be deployed complementary to their existing terrestrial infrastructure. We are pleased to be part of their network expansion to deliver new services to their clients in Africa,” Newtec’s chief executive officer, Serge Van Herck, said.
