The Socio-Economic Impact of Broadband in sub-Saharan Africa: The Satellite Advantage
Client name: Avanti Communications, London
Duration: 2012
Abstract
This project discussed about how broadband is not just a consequence of economic growth, it is also a cause. The evolving broadband geography of sub-Saharan Africa reflects changes in the underlying level and pattern of supply of this trunk transmission capacity, and the pricing of that capacity. For most of the last decade, satellite was the predominant means of providing international trunk Internet bandwidth for sub-Saharan Africa.
Expected impact
- Satellites and especially the new generation of high throughput Ka-Band satellites such as Avanti’s HYLAS 2, have a vital role to play in ensuring that no one should ever be excluded from the knowledge society. Avanti’s satellite-based International IP Trunking proposition and others like it will help sub-Saharan African ISPs, mobile operators and large corporate network operators step these constraints and keep pace with market growth.
