Pakistani IT firm set to launch satellite internet services in Africa
Published On 21 Apr, 2026
A leading Pakistani IT and telecom firm, Supernet Global, has officially launched a satellite-based connectivity service in Africa. The initiative represents a significant step in expanding Pakistan’s technological reach beyond its borders.
The company’s first project has been successfully completed in Tanzania.
From there, high-capacity internet services are now being provided through satellite technology, particularly targeting areas with limited digital infrastructure.
Satellite technology is proving to be an effective solution for regions lacking traditional connectivity networks. It allows for fast deployment and reliable internet access, helping bridge the digital divide in underserved communities.
Expansion plans across Africa
Supernet Global has announced plans to further expand its presence in Africa. The company aims to invest in ICT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and broader digital services to strengthen connectivity across the continent.
Pakistan’s IT and telecom companies are increasingly expanding into global markets, opening up new digital services and investment opportunities.
Supernet Global’s international expansion is expected to contribute to higher IT exports, increased foreign exchange earnings, and an enhanced global reputation for Pakistan’s tech industry.
The project reflects Pakistan’s emerging identity as a growing digital economy. Experts say such initiatives will further position the country as a competitive player in the global technology landscape.
