SatCom Africa is the largest satellite exhibition and conference focusing specifically on the needs of the African continent. Now in its 14th year, the show brings together end-users and suppliers of satellite technology to find cost effective and reliable communications solutions.

2011 boosted a 47.9% increase in numbers from 2010, with overall participation at the event reaching 1850 delegates; visitor and exhibitors! These ranged from telcos, ISP’s; broadcasters; and enterprises looking to deploy services offered by the satellite industry.

Africa’s lack of critical infrastructure means that operators are struggling to meet the demand for connectivity. This lack of networks leaves satellite as the most feasible option for remote and rural communications, and a profitable solution for delivering reliable internet and communication services.

Your customers come here to:

• Identify and evaluate new technologies, markets and products
• Access new markets and new opportunities through the use of satellite
• Overcome the lack of terrestrial networks and find alternative solutions to delivering quality service
• Develop cost effective and reliable networks to deliver fast and more reliable broadband to the end-user
• Discover how to meet capacity demands and limitations that affect broadcast models and distribution
• Deal with unreliable transmission and distribution through innovative product offerings
• Purchase

The show brought major influencers together from all corners of Africa and indeed the world.
