ISAT Africa Kenya Ltd matters in Africa’s broadband & satellite sector
While Africa’s digital economy has accelerated—driven by mobile money, cloud adoption, remote work, and digital trade—the infrastructure story is mixed. Rural and remote regions lack fibre, satellite gear is expensive, and incumbents such as Safaricom and Zuku keep competition tight.
ISAT Africa Kenya Ltd is bridging some of these gaps. Its combination of satellite technologies with terrestrial networks helps extend affordable services where traditional fibre rollouts are not viable. Initiatives such as smart kiosks and community connectivity points add new models for sustainable access.
