African satellite services provider CSS is partnering with Swedish firm Forsway and Saudi Arabia-based Arabsat to improve broadband connectivity in Mauritania. CSS will utilise Arabsat’s Xtend Africa managed service and Forsway’s satellite broadband extension to provide affordable satellite internet services to support business, education and health applications. CSS says the co-operation will help to boost poorly performing mobile and VSAT links.
Tobias Forsell, CEO of Forsway, commented: ‘With people restricted in their mobility, affordable broadband is more critical than ever. With over 3 billion people lacking reliable internet access, Forsway is working hard to do our part in making connectivity accessible to all.’
