Supporting Africa growth with satellites Undersea cables only serve the coasts 300 million people are over 50 km from Snapshot of African undersea cables fibre or cable broadband connection The greater the distance the worse the connection quality. 400 million people have no internet access at all 10% more broadband connectivity equals 1.38% increase in GDP for developing nations. Broadband cables are expensive to install Fibre bridges the digital divide between the Western World and Africa, but does not bridge the digital divide within Africa between urban and non- urban areas. Satellite provides efficient way of connecting the majority of the 700 million unconnected people Satellite also has the advantage of reach, providing an efficient way of connecting the majority of the poorly connected people.

Connectivity Support for elections in Burkina Faso The project was about interconnecting the 368 election sites across Burkina Faso to support the presidential and legislative elections Each site had to be equipped with a VSAT station to allow for a rapid transmission of the results from the local offices to the headquarters of the ‘Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante ’ (CENI), where the results were consolidated before they got published. CENI had committed to a publication of the election results 24 hours after closure of the polling stations to demonstrate the commitment to a transparent and fair election process. Fast deployment : the implementation of a satellite communications system for electoral data transmission within eight weeks from contract signature ATU Capacity building workshop – Cotonou, Benin – 25-28 April2016 SES Proprietary and Confidential 10
