In today’s world, access to the internet is essential for communication, education, and economic growth. However, in some parts of the world, internet connectivity is limited or non-existent. Western Sahara is one such region where internet connectivity is a challenge. The region is sparsely populated, and the harsh desert terrain makes it difficult to lay fiber optic cables. However, the introduction of VSAT technology has revolutionized internet connectivity in Western Sahara.

VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) technology is a satellite-based communication system that uses small satellite dishes to transmit and receive data. VSAT technology has been in use for several years, but its popularity has grown in recent years due to its affordability and reliability.
