Eutelsat has entered into a partnership with Clear Blue Technologies to strengthen connectivity services in Africa by deploying energy-efficient broadband solutions that are particularly suited to areas with unstable electricity supply.

Eutelsat’s expertise in power optimisation, combined with Clear Blue’s intelligent energy management technologies, enables us to deliver new sustainable connectivity solutions,” said Cyril Dujardin, President of Eutelsat’s Connectivity business.

Eutelsat will integrate Clear Blue’s energy technology into the GEO Konnect and LEO OneWeb platforms, enabling users to be less dependent
