NOVELSAT is collaborating with Gilat Telecom for quick restoration of internet connectivity following the West Africa Cable System (WACS) undersea cable cut.

The severe cable damage caused internet downtimes and slow speeds that affected all internet providers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Using NOVELSAT’s high capacity connectivity solutions, Gilat Telecom was able to quickly restore connectivity, providing its MNO and ISP customers a resilient and stable satellite network with nearly uninterrupted service and better customer experience.

Gary Drutin, NOVELSAT CEO, said the company delivered Gilat Telecom with high capacity satellite modems on very short notice. This accomplishment is a testament to the quality of the firm's operations team and, of course, NOVELSAT's leading high-performance broadband technology.
