SpaceX and MTN connect on government deals

MTN has signed a partnership with SpaceX to offer satellite connectivity services to government customers, using SpaceX's low Earth orbit (LEO) network.

According to an MTN press release, the deal focuses on extending coverage and connectivity options for public-sector users by tying MTN's local presence to SpaceX's satellite infrastructure. Both companies frame the agreement as a way to deliver satellite links in areas that are hard to reach with traditional networks.
