en.Wedoany.com Reported - Angolan telecom company Mercury (formerly MSTelcom) has signed a new multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement with Eutelsat to use its OneWeb low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity services.

As a subsidiary of the Sonangol Group, Mercury stated that the new agreement builds on a previous deal signed with Eutelsat in November 2025, further expanding the coverage of Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellite services among enterprise, public sector, offshore, and telecom customers in Angola.

Mercury CEO Francisco Pinto Leite said in a statement that the new agreement reflects the strength of the partnership and the value LEO connectivity brings to customers.

Philippe Baudrier, Vice President for Africa at Eutelsat, added that Mercury's new commitment reflects the growing demand for Eutelsat's LEO satellite services in Angola. Together, they are expanding access to secure, low-latency connectivity nationwide, helping enterprises, public sector entities, and offshore and telecom customers enhance network resilience and reach locations beyond the scope of traditional infrastructure.

Currently, Eutelsat remains the only LEO satellite operator authorized to provide services in Angola. The company has a significant operational presence in the country through local partners and has invested in local infrastructure, including a ground station built in collaboration with the Paratus Group and a local Point of Presence (PoP). Specific financial details of this new multi-year agreement were not disclosed.
