Geespace and Altel to research D2D satellite use cases for Malaysia

Orange Jordan announced on Wednesday it has become the first telco in the country to offer satellite broadband services for consumers and enterprises via the Eutelsat Konnect satellite.

UAE-based Space42 says it successfully launched its Thuraya 4 (T4) geostationary satellite, which it says will be key for launching new services across Africa, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East.

Turkey launched its first domestically produced communications satellite, Turksat 6A, into orbit early this week, widening the country’s satellite coverage and meeting its television broadcasting needs.
