Satellite services provider Q-KON has expanded its partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb to deliver connectivity through what it calls **Smart LEO networks**, tailored to reach remote locations in sub-Saharan Africa.

“By combining our local expertise and engineering know-how with Eutelsat OneWeb’s advanced satellite infrastructure, we have added additional capacity to Twoobii-LEO. This, in turn, will accelerate its expansion and further our ability to provide fast, reliable internet to communities in sub-Saharan Africa and companies in the healthcare, fintech, and retail sectors,” said Q-KON Group CEO, Dr Dawie de Wet.

“By providing cutting-edge satellite network solutions, we can anticipate and meet the growing demands for low-cost, high-availability, and trusted connectivity services.”

Q-KON highlighted key features, such as locating gateway infrastructure within Africa and user terminals optimised for maximum uptime.

Eutelsat OneWeb has developed a Smart Network domain on the LEO constellation, offering its Twoobii Smart Satellite Services model, which is designed to serve remote and underserved areas.
