Orange Middle East & Africa (OMEA) is joining forces with Eutelsat to expand internet access in remote areas through satellite connectivity. This ambitious initiative has the potential to revolutionize digital inclusion across Africa and the Middle East.
At the heart of this partnership is the Eutelsat Konnect satellite, designed to deliver reliable and affordable high-speed internet. The rollout will begin in Jordan, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with plans to gradually extend coverage across the region. Morocco is also being considered as a potential addition to the network.
This development is particularly relevant for Morocco, where many rural communities still struggle with limited access to traditional internet infrastructure. If Orange decides to implement this solution in the country, it could significantly enhance connectivity in underserved regions. Satellite internet could become a key driver of Morocco’s digital transformation, supporting critical sectors such as online education, telemedicine, and smart agriculture.
As Morocco positions itself as a regional digital hub, leveraging satellite technology could further solidify its leadership in Africa. By integrating fixed, mobile, and satellite networks, this project offers a strategic opportunity to expand coverage and meet the growing demand for connectivity. It represents a significant step toward a more inclusive and accessible digital future.
