A teleport in Mogadishu, not in another country

C- and Ku-band, on the same compound as the cable landing station. Most satellite service sold into Somalia is resold from a hub abroad, which means the traffic leaves the region before it reaches the internet — and the fault ticket leaves with it. Ours does neither.

The dish and the cable share one fence line

Satellite traffic hands onto subsea capacity inside the same compound, under the same operations team. There is no intercontinental detour, no partner hub, and no second company to call at two in the morning.

The signal path

Where your traffic actually goes

Worth following, because the difference between a teleport here and a teleport abroad is two steps in the middle of this line — and those two steps are where latency, cost and accountability are decided.

01

Your terminal

A VSAT dish at a site, camp, vessel or office, anywhere in the footprint.

02

Satellite

The space segment carries the signal back down to a ground station.

03

Our teleport

It lands in Mogadishu, on our own antennas and hub platform.

04

Our landing station

A cross-connect on the same compound onto four submarine systems.

05

The internet

Out through our own autonomous system and direct peering.

Steps three and four are the ones that usually happen in somebody else’s country. When they do, every byte makes an extra intercontinental round trip before it reaches anything useful, and the operator you pay cannot see either end of the problem.
