Namibian internet service provider AfricaOnline, a subsidiary of Gondwana International Networks (GIN) has rolled out a new JOLA service powered by Avantis HYLAS4. The service will offer a high-speed broadband 100% internet coverage, through multiple spot beams.

Foster Plender, Managing Director for AfricaOnline Ghana said, “We are proud to be the first to launch the Avanti HYLAS4 service in Ghana. Our rigorous testing over the past few months has given us the confidence that our customers will be very satisfied with the quality of service and speeds of up to 35Mbps download.”

Ghana, with a population of over 30,000,000 people has an average of 10,110,000 million internet users and an internet coverage of 33.6%, which is very low considering its population. However AfricaOnline aims to tackle this low coverage through its JOLA  service. The service will leverage on multiple spot beams to supply 100% coverage all over Ghana.

Spot beams, are satellite signals that is specifically concentrated in power- it is sent by a high-gain antenna, so that it will cover only a limited geographic area on Earth. Spot beams are used so that only earth stations in a particular intended reception area can properly receive the satellite signal.
