Azercosmos to Commence Satellite Services in Botswana

Azercosmos, Azerbaijan’s space agency, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana have announced a new long-term partnership for the CAAB to utilize terrestrial satellite communications and data services provided via the Azerspace-1 telecommunication satellite.

This agreement marks the first time Botswana will receive satellite data services via the African C band coverage on the Azerspace-1 satellite.

Currently, Azercosmos supplies satellite services to about six of the 13 countries in Southern Africa. Thus, this collaboration with Botswana will enhance the deployment of Azerspace satellite services in large-scale data projects and further expand its reach in the region.

The CAAB is responsible for regulating and developing air transport in Botswana; providing air navigation services, managing airports, and advising the government on all aspects of civil aviation.
