Regulatory News:
Eutelsat Communications (Paris:ETL), one of the world’s leading
satellite operators, today announced a multi-year agreement with La
Poste Sénégal, the country’s public postal service company, to
interconnect 200 post offices nationwide.
La Poste Sénégal has chosen high-power Ku-band capacity on the
EUTELSAT 7 West A satellite to support the country’s largest VSAT
network. In addition to improving the performance of La Poste
Sénégal’s Intranet for all employees, the new network will be used
to route simple postal and banking services, including money
transfers and pension withdrawals.
The agreement with Eutelsat to develop an integrated digital
network underscores Senegal’s ambition to boost economic growth
through strong ICT initiatives that reflect “Sénégal Numérique
2025” which is part of the nationwide “Plan Sénégal Emergent”
programme. The World Bank records an acceleration of economic
growth in Senegal over the past two years, reaching 6.5%, and
making the country one of the top performing economies in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sire Dia, Director General of La Poste Sénégal, said: “Millions
of people use our post offices every year to access local services,
as well as account-based financial services or IT-based services.
Our partnership with Eutelsat reinforces our commitment to
providing high quality and efficient services to all our
customers.”
Michel Azibert, Eutelsat’s Chief Commercial and Development
Officer, added: "In using our satellite resources, La Poste Sénégal
can cover a wide geographic area with no compromise on quality of
service and cost for each site. In leveraging the benefits of
EUTELSAT 7 West A our customer can deliver key services for
Senegalese citizens, even in the most remote regions.”
