Azercosmos and Signalhorn to boost C-band satcoms over Africa

摘要

Satellite operator Azercosmos and teleport and data center facility Signalhorn have entered into a partnership agreement to provide what are describe as uninterrupted, secure and high-quality satellite services throughout Africa via the C Band capacity on Azerspace-1 satellite.Using technology from satellite technology and communication solutions provider ST Engineering iDirect, Azercosmos and Signalhorn say they will be able to contribute to state-of the-art and efficient connectivity through the Signalhorn Leuk teleport, resulting in a high degree of operational flexibility and agility.Signalhorn says its facility in Leuk in Switzerland has visibility on dozens of satellites from 55W to 70E with C-band protection from 5G interference by the Swiss telecom regulators as well as added natural protection across all frequency bands due to local topography.Through this partnership, Azercosmos and Signalhorn say they will provide high-quality internet connectivity and thus also provide more opportunities for humanitarian aid as well as greater connectivity options across Africa.
