Enterprise Connectivity,Headline,Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites

Seacom is one of the companies whose undersea cables were impacted by the recent breaks that caused major connectivity disruptions in South Africa.

Submarine cable network operator and managed connectivity service provider Seacom has launched a low-earth-orbit satellite service for its enterprise clients in South Africa.

The Eutelsat-owned service also has official local distribution through Paratus and Q-KON and is focused on enterprise connectivity, Seacom’s area of expertise.However, despite its roaming service being available in South Africa, it has not been officially approved for local use.This makes them capable of providing higher data speeds and lower latency than geosynchronous satellites on older services, which orbit around 35,000km above the Earth.

This required the company to explore new connectivity avenues with clients, including LEO, to address the impact of load-shedding on their businesses. That is because they can transmit data to each other over long distances in space, bypassing the need to transfer data through cables in the ground or ocean.
