In Chad, a landlocked country in Central Africa, internet connectivity has been a challenge for many years. The country has a low internet penetration rate, with only 6.5% of the population having access to the internet. This is due to the country’s poor telecommunications infrastructure, which is characterized by inadequate terrestrial networks and limited access to fiber optic cables.
However, the situation is changing with the introduction of VSAT technology in the country. VSAT, which stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal, is a satellite-based communication technology that provides high-speed internet connectivity to remote and rural areas. VSAT technology is ideal for countries like Chad, where terrestrial networks are inadequate and the population is dispersed over a large area.
