Africa Mobile Networks has extended its satellite cellular backhaul contract with Gilat Satellite Networks.
The largest of its kind in Africa, AMN’s network serves several top-tier telecom operators across the continent using Gilat’s VSAT technology.
Michael Darcy, CEO at AMN, said: “We are pleased to contribute to closing the digital divide by furthering the reach of our network to additional countries reaching more of the population in rural areas.”
Gilat’s VP of Global Broadband Networks Michal Aharonov added: “Gilat has provided over 2,000 VSATs to AMN and is pleased to participate in plans of site migrations from 2G/3G to 4G, as the requirement for data communication is rising.”
