Press Release – Sky’s the limit: Q-KON and Partners launch fully compliant Eutelsat-Oneweb LEO Satellite services in Namibia
Namibia has officially launched Eutelsat’s OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite service through Q-KON’s Twoobii-OneWeb platform, delivered locally by Echo Namibia and OCN. The launch follows a rigorous evaluation process by the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN), positioning the service as a fully compliant, authorised LEO solution designed to bridge the digital divide across key sectors including schools, government facilities, banking, mining, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and tourism. To meet CRAN’s stringent compliance standards, Eutelsat adapted its service delivery structures to ensure seamless integration of the global OneWeb network into local operational frameworks, enabling a reliable, enterprise-grade connectivity solution that is already being deployed by Echo Namibia and OCN.
Transforming Livestock Auctions with LEO Connectivity
A leading Namibian agricultural enterprise transformed connectivity at its remote livestock auctions through Echo Namibia’s Twoobii OneWeb LEO satellite solution. Powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb network, the high-speed, low-latency technology enabled seamless high-definition livestreaming, uninterrupted real-time bidding, and efficient digital transactions, even in isolated farming regions with limited terrestrial infrastructure. The solution not only improved the auction experience for breeders, farmers, and buyers, but also strengthened market access, transparency, and industry collaboration across Namibia’s livestock sector. By ensuring reliable connectivity at every event, the enterprise can now deliver a more scalable, competitive, and future-ready auction environment.
