Eutelsat 's latest quarterly report highlights Africa's growing importance in its global growth strategy. Although overall revenues declined slightly by 0.3 on a like-for-like basis, connectivity services-crucial to Africa's digital advancement-rose by 8.6. This growth was largely driven by Low Earth Orbit LEO satellite revenues, which surged 70.7 year-on-year. The sharp rise underscores Eutelsat's commitment to expanding high-speed, reliable internet access across underserved regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where limited terrestrial infrastructure has long restricted digital inclusion.
Africa continues to be one of Eutelsat's most strategic markets for both Fixed and Mobile Connectivity. With many parts of the continent still lacking fiber networks, satellite-based internet-powered by the OneWeb LEO constellation-offers a practical solution for bridging the connectivity divide. By delivering affordable broadband access to remote communities, schools, and enterprises, Eutelsat is helping to unlock new opportunities for education, business, and social development.
The company also reaffirmed its dominance in regional broadcasting, particularly through the 7/8 West video neighbourhood that serves North Africa and the Middle East. Its renewed partnership with BHS Telecommunications solidifies this position as the leading TV distribution hub for the MENA region. This partnership ensures that millions of African and Arabic-speaking viewers continue to have access to diverse cultural, educational, and news programming, maintaining a stable satellite broadcasting ecosystem across North Africa.
