Sonatel Orange has announced the launch of Senegal's first satellite internet offers, marking a significant step in the country's digital transformation. The new service, introduced in partnership with Eutelsat/Konnect, provides unlimited high-speed internet to households and professionals across the country. Combined with existing fibre optics, 4G, and 5G networks, this satellite deployment enables Orange to cover 99 of Senegal, ensuring comprehensive connectivity even in remote and rural areas.
The satellite service is immediately available and installed by local teams, providing a flexible and efficient solution to complex connectivity challenges. This initiative reinforces Senegal's technological sovereignty and highlights the capacity to rely on local infrastructure and expertise to meet the nation's digital needs.
In alignment with the Senegal Horizon 2050 Plan, Orange has committed to deploying one million additional fibre optic sockets between 2026 and 2028. By the end of 2028, the company will have installed nearly two million optical sockets nationwide. Initial deployments in December 2025 have already been completed in strategic and often isolated localities such as Moudery, Sare Bidji, Ndiedieng, Ogo, and Koungheul, with more areas scheduled for connectivity in the coming weeks.
