Orange Tunisie has launched a new satellite broadband service in Tunisia using Eutelsat’s KONNECT satellite, offering internet speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
The service, branded as Orange Satellite, provides nationwide coverage and is primarily designed to deliver reliable connectivity to remote and underserved areas where terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure is limited or unavailable.
Orange Tunisie said the service is available through two packages, including a dedicated offer for professionals operating in isolated regions.
The broadband service relies on Eutelsat’s latest-generation KONNECT satellite, which delivers higher performance compared with earlier systems by offering increased bandwidth, improved signal stability and significantly better data throughput.
The launch follows a broader multi-year partnership formed in 2025 between Orange Africa and Middle East (OMEA) and Eutelsat. The agreement aims to expand satellite broadband access across the region, initially covering Jordan, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with plans to extend the service to other Orange markets.
Orange also signed an agreement with Eutelsat Group in June 2025 to leverage the company’s OneWeb low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation for enterprise and government connectivity services worldwide, particularly across Africa and the Middle East.
The company operates mobile networks in several markets including Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Egypt, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, the Central African Republic, Senegal and Sierra Leone.
