Inside Madagascar’s Internet Revolution: From Mobile Networks to Starlink Skies

Inside Madagascar’s Internet Revolution: From Mobile Networks to Starlink Skies

Madagascar is connected to four major submarine cables—EASSy, LION/LION2, METISS, and 2Africa—with the 2Africa landing at Mahajanga in February 2023 and becoming operational in late 2023. Fixed broadband penetration is extremely low, at about 0.11 per 100 people in 2023, forcing most of the population to rely on mobile networks. Market shares are Telma about 50%, Orange about 30%, Airtel about 7%, Blueline’s bip about 2%, and SpaceX Starlink around 10% of Madagascar’s internet market as of 2024–2025. 4G coverage reaches roughly 71% of the population, while overall mobile signal availability sits around 92%.

Internet Access in Comoros: From Island Gaps to Satellite Signals

The Union of the Comoros comprises Grande Comore (Ngazidja), Anjouan (Ndzuwani), Mohéli (Mwali) and the Mayotte territory, with island geography that complicates terrestrial network rollout. Submarine cables have transformed connectivity: EASSy landed in Moroni in 2010–2011, AVASSA was completed in 2016, and FLY-LION3 landed at Itsandra, Moroni in 2019, creating three major international links. Internally, AVASSA connects Grande Comore and Anjouan (Mohéli is linked by microwave), while a Comoros Domestic Cable System (CDCS) is planned and Comoros Cables manages open wholesale access for both carriers. Fixed broadband remains scarce, with about 3,000 fixed broadband subscriptions in 2023 (roughly 0.3 per

Orbiting Eyes: How Space-Based ADS-B Is Revolutionizing Air Traffic Surveillance

Orbiting Eyes: How Space-Based ADS-B Is Revolutionizing Air Traffic Surveillance

Space-based ADS-B became operational in 2019 with Aireon using Iridium NEXT’s 66 low Earth orbit satellites at about 780 km, each carrying an ADS-B receiver listening at 1090 MHz and delivering data to ground stations with latency under 1.5 seconds and updates often in the 2–5 second range. Before 2019 only about 30% of the globe had ADS-B surveillance and roughly 70% of airspace lacked real-time coverage, whereas space-based ADS-B now provides global coverage including oceans and the poles. On March 27, 2019, NAV CANADA and NATS deployed space-based ADS-B in the North Atlantic, reducing lateral separation from about 40
