SEACOM has announced its latest partnership with Q-KON, a satellite engineering enterprise for Sub-Saharan Africa. This collaboration will enhance the SEACOM low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity services, which have been offered in South Africa since early 2024.
LEO solutions enable SEACOM clients to integrate LEO connectivity into their network infrastructure and business continuity strategies. Data is routed through satellites beamed to teleport facilities and then to various network centres and endpoints. Q-KON provides the Twoobii-LEO satellite enterprise solution built on the global Eutelsat OneWeb high-speed, low-latency constellations in key African countries.
“This partnership is consistent with our customer-centric strategy, and our clients can expect the best and most effective solutions for their enterprise needs,” says Sajid Khan, MD of SEACOM Group Digital Services. “LEO connectivity allows South African enterprises to reinforce their digital ecosystems and invest in heightened network resilience and business continuity. The partnership showcases the co-creation between the two companies, whose synergistic relationship has allowed us to combine our in-depth understanding of terrestrial infrastructure with their specialised expertise in satellite-based networks, resulting in innovative solutions tailored to modern business challenges,” says Khan.
“The rise of LEO technology throughout Africa’s corporate and public landscape has provided a unique opportunity for Q-KON, one that we are embracing with the power of collaboration and the help of reputable industry players such as SEACOM. We are very excited to see where this partnership takes us and how we work together to usher in the next stage of continent-wide digital transformation,” says Dr Dawie de Wet, Group CEO of Q-KON and their African satellite service, Twoobii.
