The submarine cable operator launches its own low-earth orbit satellite offering, targeting South African enterprises.
Submarine cable operator Seacom has rolled out its low-earth orbit satellite service targeting enterprises.
According to Seacom, LEO satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of 2 000km or less − the same altitude at which the International Space Station currently orbits. “We’re very excited to be a part of these discussions with our clients, to demonstrate those capabilities and support our clients in overcoming some of the key challenges they are experiencing in the South African market and beyond.”
LEO is especially optimal for enterprises with low latency and intensive workload requirements, including those in sectors such as financial services, retail, mining and education, says the firm. The launch also sees Seacom partner with one of SA’s financial service providers, which will use LEO to expand its network access capabilities and ensure reliable product and service delivery, the firm adds.
“The goal is to make the LEO service an essential value offering for organisations of all shapes and sizes. Connectivity is on track to become a wholesale service made up of different technologies that work together to meet clients’ needs and deliver the uptime and performance that’s expected from market leaders,” he says.
