A Multinational Ground System Delivering Affordable Broadband Across Asia Pacific


There are 600 million people across the Asia Pacific region with little to no access to the internet. Access to reliable connectivity has proven to support developing economies, educate communities and save lives. Thanks to Kacific Broadband Satellites Group, satellite services are opening the door to these opportunities for the 600 million.
