RascomStar-QAF’s mission is unique in that it can provide full connectivity to all African countries, including underserved areas.
 

Thanks to its state-of-the-art satellite communication system and its prime position over Africa, RascomStar-QAF will provide a full range of competitive, value-added services to all African countries, enhancing and reinforcing the integration of Africa. Its satellite system is the result of the strong will of all African states to join efforts and co-operate in making the Pan-African satellite telecom infrastructure a reality. RASCOM-QAF1, the first satellite, has already been successfully launched on Ariane 5 in December 2007.
 

The range of tailor-made services offered by RASCOM’s system enables local operators to serve their clients’ real communication needs.
RascomStar-QAF aims to play a key role in the Telecom sector in Africa.
The company’s goal is to make universal access to telecoms services a reality and to sustain the development of ICT throughout the continent and its islands.
 

The company is responsible for financing, designing, launching and operating the RASCOM-QAF satellites, as well as defining and delivering services adapted to the African market.
RascomStar-QAF is deploying a complete ground infrastructure to support two networks for broadband and telecommunications services: R*BCS and R*TES.
These services will be offered to African Telecommunication Operators and will enable them to provide affordable national and international telephony-trunking and IP-transit connections, as well as low-cost telephony and internet services throughout Africa, with an emphasis in underserved locations.

At the same time RascomStar-QAF will provide satellite Bandwidth Lease Services (R*BLS) to African customers in C and Ku bands with a complete coverage of the African continent at affordable and competitive prices.

The services currently provided by RascomStar-QAF will then be: R*BCS, R*TES and R*BLS.
