South African cellular giant, Vodacom, has reached an agreement with South African-born Elon Musks, Starlink, to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband internet to millions of businesses and households across Africa.
The two entities will also expand rural network coverage. According to Vodacom, integrating Starlinks satellite backhaul into Vodacoms mobile network, will accelerate network coverage expansion, while increasing network performance in rural areas.
Starlink is available in 25 countries on the continent, but not yet in South Africa.
