Global satellite operator providing
capacity for reliable and secure satellite
services and solutions
10 satellites at 7 orbital positions. With C-
and Ku-band over the entire continent
SES satellites and teleports are
supporting communications networks
across Africa
Committed to growing the African
continent with local teams & regional

Supporting Africa growth with satellites
Undersea cables only serve the coasts

300 million people are over 50 km from
fibre or cable broadband connection The greater the distance the worse the connection
quality.
400 million people have no internet
access at all 10% more broadband connectivity equals 1.38%
increase in GDP for developing nations.
Broadband cables are expensive to
install Fibre bridges the digital divide between the
Western World and Africa, but does not bridge the
digital divide within Africa between urban and non-
urban areas.
Satellite provides efficient way of
connecting the majority of the 700 million
unconnected people Satellite also has the advantage of reach, providing
an efficient way of connecting the majority of the
poorly connected people.

What is SATMED
9
Secure data storage and content
management capacities
Satellite connectivity for areas in which mobile or
terrestrial internet is lacking
E-Health tools (covers full spectrum of e-health
including e-learning, e-care and e-surveillance)
SATMED is a cloud-computing based e-health platform that operates on a
global scale.

Connectivity Support for elections in Burkina Faso
10
The project was about interconnecting the 368 election sites across Burkina Faso
to support the presidential and legislative elections
Each site had to be equipped with a VSAT station to allow for a rapid
transmission of the results from the local offices to the headquarters of the
‘Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante’ (CENI), where the results were
consolidated before they got published.
CENI had committed to a publication of the election results 24 hours after closure
of the polling stations to demonstrate the commitment to a transparent and fair
election process.
Fast deployment : the implementation of a satellite communications system for
electoral data transmission within eight weeks from contract signature
