Facebook To Beam Internet To Africa From Space by aragon4realz(m): 11:32am On Oct 06, 2015 |
Facebook is teaming up with French communications company Eutelsat Communications to provide Internet to unconnected parts of Africa. In an announcement Monday, the companies said they will use the broadband payload of Spacecom’s AMOS-6 satellite to send Internet services to several countries in West, East and Southern Africa. They will split broadband capacity, delivering it in a way that is optimized for community and individual use via affordable off-the-shelf components. Eutelsat already provides professional-level service in sub-Saharan Africa. Facebook’s involvement represents another step in its Internet.org initiative to supplement existing and limited terrestrial networks in order to connect billions of people around the world who cannot get online http://sweetnoisenaija.com/%e2%80%8bfacebook-to-beam-internet-to-africa-from-space/ |
