TelOne broadband via satellite to grow revenue

TelOne says its new broadband via satellite product will contribute at least $5 million to company's annual revenue within a year.

The launch of the new product, Ka Band Satellite Solutions, yesterday follows the satellite broadband contract signed between TelOne and Avanti Communications, a leading UK-based satellite operator, in April this year.

It aims to provide high speed internet and Ka band data services for business, rural areas, and mobile carrier and defence systems.

TelOne managing director Chipo Mtasa said the company had invested $1 million in acquiring the customer service division's new equipment, which would be used on the roll out of the new product.
