Eutelsat Communications S. A konnect has signed a framework agreement with its distribution partner InterSat to provide connectivity services to the Post Office in Côte d’Ivoire. The multi-year agreement will enable the connection of circa 170 post offices throughout the country. Furthermore, all 170 post offices will be equipped with konnect Wifi hotspots in white zones, enabling the Post Office to offer broadband solutions to its local customers. In the future, its scope could be expanded to 3,000 parcel-points (‘Point Relais’) throughout the country. Leveraging the recently operational EUTELSAT KONNECT high-throughput satellite, the roll-out of the service will start in January 2021 over a six-month period.
