This document discusses Intelsat's efforts to expand connectivity in Africa. It notes that over 700 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa remain unconnected, with more than two thirds of the population living in rural areas without reliable infrastructure. Intelsat is investing over $2 billion to develop the world's first global 5G-enabled unified network using a multi-orbit, multi-layer approach. This will help connect remote, urban, and semi-urban areas through partnerships providing 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile services across Africa to support education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and business expansion.
