A Pilot Commercial Agreement between Telecom Namibia and Angola’s Gabinete de Gestão do Programa Espacial Nacional (GGPEN) formalises the transition from a successful Proof of Concept phase into a structured real-network trial of Angosat-2 satellite services. The pilot phase will enable Telecom Namibia to evaluate the satellite platform’s technical performance, service capabilities, and commercial viability under operational conditions.
This is after Telecom Namibia last week took the significant step towards advancing regional connectivity by signing the Pilot Commercial Agreement with GGPEN for the utilisation of the Angosat-2 satellite platform.
The signing was attended by Mário Augusto da Silva Oliveira, Minister of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Social Communication of the Republic of Angola, and Emma Theofelus, Minister of Information and Communication Technology, alongside senior leadership from Telecom Namibia and GGPEN.
The agreement, signed in Luanda, marks a strategic collaboration aimed at expanding access to reliable and scalable digital services across Namibia and the broader Southern African region.
