Information and communication infrastructure
In Angola, the ANGOSAT-1 Space Communication and Broadcasting Satellite System of the Republic of Angola project involves the construction and launch of the country’s first communication satellite. Angola’s telecommunication companies together spend some USD 30 million per month for the rental and use of satellite capacities. The project will attempt to address some of the most challenging communication access issues, including prices, and the connection of Angolan cities and provinces across a vast land mass, where copper or fibre telecommunication networks would be prohibitively costly. The progress of the ANGOSAT-1 project is currently at 64 per cent.
