United Arab Emirates UAE based AI-powered SpaceTech company, Space 42, has launched its next-generation satellite services, Thuraya-4, in South Africa.
The move promises to revolutionise connectivity for the most remote corners of the Republic, yet questions remain as the company moves forward without final approval from the industry regulator, Independent Communications Authority of South Africa ICASA.
The launch could result in the introduction of new telecoms products, including a satellite smartphone, maritime solutions and tactical networks.
