LIQUID Intelligent Technologies, a leading pan-African technology group, has announced a new distribution partner agreement (DPA) with Eutelsat Group. This collaboration will bring enterprise-grade Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services to Africa, marking a significant advancement in the continent’s connectivity landscape. Eutelsat Group is renowned as the world’s first satellite operator to integrate both GEO and LEO infrastructures.
‘Liquid has always been committed to technological innovation in Africa,’ stated Ahmed El Beheiry, CEO of Liquid Intelligent Technologies. ‘Our collaboration with Eutelsat signifies a milestone in bringing cutting-edge LEO services to our customers across multiple countries in Africa, empowering them with high-speed solutions and unlocking new possibilities for connectivity.’
Philippe Baudrier, VP Connectivity, Africa at Eutelsat, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: ‘We are thrilled to work with Liquid to introduce new connectivity services throughout Africa. Liquid has a proven track record and a longstanding commitment to connect African businesses. Working together and leveraging Eutelsat Group’s innovative LEO services, we can unlock new opportunities for enterprises and communities. We look forward to the positive impacts we can have to help Liquid’s customers flourish, especially in the mining industry in Central Africa.’
The integration of the OneWeb LEO satellite network by Liquid Dataport will deliver low-latency satellite services, alongside a network interconnect that enables seamless integration with Liquid Dataport’s core network infrastructure. This strategic deployment represents a paradigm shift in satellite technology, offering lower latency, faster orbital periods, and higher bandwidth. For Liquid Dataport’s customers, this means enhanced performance for applications such as cloud computing, video conferencing, and real-time applications.
In addition to the technical benefits, the expanded reach of Liquid Dataport will streamline the customer experience, making it a preferred one-stop shop for a range of connectivity and other services. Liquid Dataport’s LEO services, in partnership with Eutelsat, also include enterprise access with Internet breakout and Point-to-Point services, providing versatile and robust solutions for diverse business needs.
As Eutelsat’s OneWeb network coverage continues to mature, Liquid Dataport plans to systematically expand its services, aligning with the evolving demand for low-latency primary and backup services in remote regions of Africa. This strategic move anticipates the expected surge in new LEO satellite constellations over the next three years, providing agile and cost-effective solutions for entering and expanding markets.
For Liquid Intelligent Technologies, the collaboration with Eutelsat is about more than just services; it’s about launching opportunities for businesses and communities in Africa that extend beyond connectivity, fostering progress and innovation across the continent.
