Under the agreement, Gateway will lease multiple C-band transponders on AFRICASAT-1, commencing October 2008. The capacity will further develop Gateway's voice, data and internet access to its corporate customers across 40 countries on the African continent.
“MEASAT welcomes Gateway to our growing family of premium customers leveraging the AFRICASAT-1 platform for connectivity in the African region,” said Terry Bleakley, vice president, commercial operations, MEASAT. “We look forward to a long and successful co-operation with Gateway in expanding their broadband services.”

Because Gateway designs and develops services specifically for African businesses it means customers benefit from applications that are ideally tailored to their needs. Gateway can provide satellite connectivity for all requirements; from simple voice and data to the most complex and bandwidth-intensive video, audio and internet content, e-commerce or enterprise networking. We rely on our satellite partners for that capacity and are delighted to be working with MEASAT.”
