Under the agreement, TIM will purchase the Italian capacity on Eutelsat Konnect, as well as a majority of the capacity covering Italy on Konnect VHTS, once it enters service.
The spacecraft is now operational and will gradually ramp up with 80% of the capacity in service by year-end and 100% by March 2021.
The agreement coincides with the entry into service of Eutelsat Konnect, due to start gradually from fall 2020 with operation at full capacity expected from early 2021.
Konnect Africa has been operating for over a year in the region, bringing affordable broadband connectivity to unserved or poorly served areas.
