Eutelsat will integrate Clear Blues energy technology into its GEO Konnect and LEO OneWeb platforms to optimise broadband quality and prioritise applications based on power conditions.
Eutelsat Group has partnered with Clear Blue Technologies to expand and improve connectivity solutions across Africa. This will be achieved by launching state-of-the-art, power-efficient broadband services to support businesses, community WiFi networks, even in the most energy-constrained environments.
In regions where access to stable electricity is a hurdle, the convergence of intelligent power management with world-class IP connectivity is paramount. Towards this, Eutelsat will integrate Clear Blues energy technology capabilities into its GEO Konnect and LEO OneWeb platforms. The new solutions will offer reliable, sustainable, and scalable connectivity solutions that empower enterprises and transform communities across the continent.
The new offer will feature smart load shedding ensuring consistent and high-speed critical connectivity, even in scenarios with limited power availability, to keep essential services operational. Its adaptive broadband will intelligently modulate broadband service in real-time based on power levels, to maximise performance and user experience. Intelligent power monitoring systems will prevent power abuse while driving energy efficiency, resulting in significant cost reductions for end users.
Speaking about the partnership, Cyril Dujardin, President of the Connectivity Business Unit at Eutelsat, said: Our strategic partnership with Clear Blue marks a significant leap forward in our mission to expand digital inclusion across Africa. Eutelsats expertise in power optimization, combined with Clear Blues smart energy management technologies, enables us to deliver new, sustainable connectivity solutions. This collaboration will empower communities, bridge digital divides, and ensure access to critical broadband services, regardless of local power infrastructure.
Miriam Tuerk, CEO of Clear Blue Technologies added: Connecting the unconnected across Africa represents that largest global growth potential for connectivity services. Power and connectivity together have been shown to be critical to successful roll outs, and more importantly, ongoing service quality and reliability. Eutelsats innovative approach to combining Smart Power technology with energy management of its communications technology will deliver unparalleled service at a compelling price point within the market.
