Somalia: Talia and Newtec Power GSM and Mobile Payments ...

A mobile operator based in Somalia has commissioned satellite communications backbone infrastructure from Talia and Newtec. Based on Newtec?s FlexACM technology, AGSM.MOBI?s network will enable reliable mobile voice, data, and payment services throughout Somalia.

Somalia is a country in the midst of rapid economic and social change. With a population of more than 10 million, mobile connections have risen dramatically in the past two years to exceed 3 million connections and are expected to reach more than 5 million by 2015.

?The current absence of a national telecommunications infrastructure in Somalia, along with the ever-growing need for voice and mobile data, make satellite communications a natural fit,? said Alan Afrasiab, President and CEO of Talia.

The AGSM.MOBI network will be hosted at the Talia Teleport and other places, and Talia will provide connectivity as a managed service, interconnecting with co-located ASGSM.MOBI equipment. The satellite network will run over a fully-redundant Newtec hub.

The end-to-end solution combines a range of technologies to optimise IP trunking and IP backbone satellite links. It can double data rates in the same bandwidth without the need to acquire extra satellite capacity.

Serge Van Herck, CEO of Newtec, said: ?We are integrating FlexACM to optimise the satellite link and ensure that it is robust even in conditions of dust and rain fade ? which can be a challenge in the sub-Saharan and tropical regions in Somalia. The auto-adaptive technology incorporated inside Newtec?s FlexACM takes care of any fading condition, interference (noise and distortion) or variation in the satellite link. This avoids link and data losses to provide optimal service availability.?
