The AfricaCom 2012 international show witnessed the successful live demonstration of a new GSM cellular service jointly developed by Pan-African satellite operator RascomStar and satellite and mobility communications company ViaSat. This new cellular service caters to customers in remote and under-served areas.
RascomStar made its announcement on November 20, 2012. In its statement, the Company reported that visitors to its common AfricaCom booth could place a call to anywhere in the world thanks to a low-power GSM site that leverages the RASCOM-QAF1R communications satellite.
The GSM cellular service developed by RascomStar and ViaSat is the first of its kind that uses bandwidth-efficient, low-power infrastructure to deliver GSM/3G voice, messaging, and data services to to hitherto unreachable areas.
The RascomStar-ViaSat is a low-cost turnkey managed service. ViaSat provided its ip.access technology for the ground segment while RascomStar handled the space segment. According to the partner companies, the solution was designed for easy scalability. It also reduces risks for mobile operators while boosting profits and sustainability at the same time.
