In December 2013 CEO Christian Patouraux and founders Mark Rigolle and Cyril Anarella announced Kacific’s intention to provide Ka-band broadband to Pacific nations. In January it appointed Jacques-Samuel Prolon General Manager. It signed agreements with Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation (June), Solomon Telekom Company (August), the Kiribati government (September) and Teletok in Tokelau (December). Kacific’s promise of fast, affordable, accessible, low-cost, satellite broadband on even most remote Pacific islands has met with a receptive audience.

In August Kacific signed an agreement with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for the development of satellite communications capacity and emergency solutions for the region.

ABOUT KACIFIC

Kacific Broadband Satellites will offer high speed satellite broadband services to 40 million people in the Pacific. Many Internet users in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Pacific islands, New Zealand and PNG have no direct Internet service. Despite a willingness to pay in these markets, the vast distances separating pockets of population have made connectivity economically challenging.

Kacific will address the supply gap with a geostationary Ka-band satellite using state-of-the-art multi-beam high throughput communications, streaming direct to simple antenna terminals on end users’ premises.

The company already has multi-million dollar bandwidth presales agreements with telcos and governments of several nations. Kacific will launch two satellites in 2017.
