Satellite services provider Q-KON has reportedly brought South African telecoms player Vox onboard as a reseller of its Twoobii Super Smart Satellite Solutions for enterprise customers powered by Eutelsat OneWeb’s LEO satellite network.
According to TechAfrica News, Vox has signed on as a OneWeb partner, which enables its enterprise customers to use Q-KON’s Twoobii-OneWeb offering as a frontline connectivity solution or a backup to legacy terrestrial systems.
Theo van Zyl, head of wireless solutions at Vox, said in a statement that signing up as a OneWeb Partner with Q-KON “makes perfect sense as it allows both companies and all our customers to benefit from synergies and added value across the board.”
Vox satellite product manager Kathleen Morris added, “Now that we are a partner of the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO service through Q-KON, we can go to market with a full suite of connectivity options.”
The deal is an extension of an existing partnership between Q-KON and Vox, noted Hendrik Bezuidenhout, account director of key accounts at Q-KON.
“Securing Vox as a Twoobii-OneWeb reseller represents a valuable extension of our existing partnership and being able to provide world-class LEO services to enterprise customers throughout southern Africa further strengthens the business case for satellite connectivity across all sectors,” he said.
Q-KON first incorporated Eutelsat OneWeb’s LEO satellite connectivity into its Twoobii Smart Satellite Services in 2023. In November 2024, Q-KON and Eutelsat OneWeb signed a new multi-year agreement to expand LEO satellite services across Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in the southern region.
