Orange Côte d'Ivoire launches satellite broadband for unserved areas
Orange Côte d'Ivoire has introduced a new satellite broadband service, Orange Sat, to extend internet access to parts of the country that mobile and fibre networks do not reach. The operator is working with satellite provider Eutelsat to connect rural “white zones” that currently lack 4G and fixed-line coverage.
The service targets households, small businesses and public institutions in underserved areas, using satellite links instead of ground infrastructure. By relying on Eutelsat’s capacity, Orange aims to close some of the coverage gaps in Côte d'Ivoire without waiting for towers or fibre to be built in sparsely populated regions.
