The partnership between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Monacosat aims to improve connectivity in rural and remote areas by deploying a satellite telecommunications network in the DRC using Monacosat’s satellite capacity. This initiative is part of the DRC’s Horizon 2025 National Digital Plan to enhance digital infrastructure and connectivity nationwide. Despite existing government efforts, the country still faces low connectivity rates, with only 30.79% having access to mobile internet and 0.0174% using fixed internet services. Monacosat plans to expand coverage in the DRC through the TurkmenAlem52E/MonacoSAT satellite, potentially connecting millions of Congolese and improving access to education, healthcare, and digital services. This initiative could also help address gaps in the fiber optic network expansion, which requires significant additional coverage.
