SatADSL and YahClick have partnered to expand connectivity across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Under the agreement, Belgium-headquartered SatADSL will become a new Virtual Network Operator (VNO) working with YahClick, which is a satellite services joint venture owned by Yahsat and Hughes Network Systems.
The deal will enable SatADSL to combine the capacity purchased from YahClick with its innovative cloud-based service delivery platform (C-SDP) to deliver a full range of flexible satellite services across Africa.
In joining forces with SatADSL, YahClick gains full access to the Belgian operator’s extensive licensed partner network spanning 45 countries worldwide and boasting over 3,500 deployments. This presents YahClick with new opportunities to expand its distribution, and allows the companies to work towards eradicating digital exclusion in Africa.
Michel Dothey, Chief Commercial Officer at SatADSL, said: “Partnering with YahClick does more than just give us access to the company’s Service Delivery Platforms – it significantly increases our ability to make a tangible and lasting difference in and across the communities from West to East Africa we serve as part of our global connectivity offering. Our ability to offer high throughput Ka-band services will significantly impact the fate of some of the most underserved countries in the world, helping them to cross the digital divide and make the most of their considerable potential.”
