MTN launches satellite solution to connect unserved areas in Côte d'Ivoire

MTN Côte d'Ivoire has introduced MTN Satellite, a new solution aimed at providing connectivity to areas in Côte d'Ivoire that are difficult to reach with traditional infrastructure. Honoré Kouamé, General Manager at MTN BUSINESS, stated that this initiative seeks to overcome connectivity limitations and make it an accessible lever for economic and social development across the country. The solution is designed to support businesses in remote agricultural, mining, oil, industrial, and logistics sectors, enabling real-time communication and data access. MTN Satellite also targets offshore activities, construction and public works, and rural populations through community WiFi. The offering includes community-focused packages for villages, home solutions for poorly covered areas, and professional services for SMEs and larger enterprises. Kouamé emphasized the ease of deployment and rapid service activation, highlighting the multidimensional impact expected: enhanced economic continuity, productivity, and competitiveness for businesses, alongside reducing the digital divide, facilitating access to essential services, and creating new opportunities socially. MTN guarantees service continuity through robust satellite infrastructure, operational monitoring, and dedicated support. This launch marks a significant step in MTN Group's ambition to connect all Ivorians and support economic actors wherever they are.
