Al Yah Satellite
Communications Company, Yahsat, the Abu Dhabi based satellite operator, has
further strengthened the availability of its flagship service YahClick, an
affordable, high-speed satellite broadband Internet service, in the Republic of
Angola through a new partnership with Global Telesat, the country’s established
satellite telecoms provider.
DigitalSENSE Business News notes
that experts in satellite communications within the Republic and the wider
African market, Global Telesat will distribute YahClick across the country via
two main distribution channels, namely Electrix to target home users and
Multitel to targeting businesses.
A
press statement made available by African
Press Organization on behalf of Al Yah Satellite Communications confirmed that Global
Telesat will offer cost effective YahClick service plans to suit both home and
business users in urban, rural and remote locations to boost their access to a
high speed and reliable Internet connection.
Commenting
on the appointment of Global Telesat, Shawkat Ahmed, Chief Commercial Officer,
Yahsat stated: “We are happy to strengthen our presence in Angola through our
partnership with Global Telesat. As one of our local partners for YahClick in
Angola, Global Telesat will provide set-up and maintenance services for home
users and businesses. Africa is a key market for us and with the help of
experts in the market like Global Telesat, Yahsat is pleased to be making cost
effective and reliable Internet connectivity even more accessible to users
across Angola.”
“YahClick
is a powerful tool, one which will improve the life of business and home users
requiring high speed and reliable internet access. While satellite services
have existed in Angola for many years, YahClick makes satellite internet
affordable for the very first time, for a much wider segment of businesses and
home users who previously couldn’t consider satellite due to its prohibitive
costs,” added Ivan Pizarro, Chief Executive Officer of Global Telesat.
YahClick
is designed to provide satellite broadband Internet to everyone and is set to
open new business opportunities and connectivity to a wide range of industries,
NGOs, government, educational organisations and home users throughout its
coverage area by providing reliable, high-bandwidth Internet connectivity to
urban, rural and even remote communities.
Global
Telesat will offer the YahClick service and local support services to address
the specific needs of business, government organisations and home subscribers.
Users, including those in underserved and un-served areas, will now be able to
instantly connect to the satellite broadband Internet via a small satellite
dish and modem that can be pre-ordered through Global Telesat. The service is
available in Angola with no further infrastructure requirements.
YahClick
is beamed through Yahsat’s second satellite Y1B satellite, the first satellite
in the region to offer Internet connectivity through Ka-band multi-spot beams,
providing a greater level of overall efficiency and cost-effective broadband
solutions.
