The Regional African Satellite Communications Organization (RASCOM) is an intergovernmental organization with 45 member states, established in 1992 to extend telecommunications services, including voice and television, throughout Africa. RASCOM prioritizes regional African satellite systems to provide telecommunication services, direct TV broadcasting, and internet access, especially in rural areas. It aims to reduce the continent's reliance on international satellite networks by constructing and operating its own earth-orbiting satellite systems. RASCOM partners with organizations like Intersputnik and GGPEN to enhance connectivity, foster innovation, and promote technological advancement across Africa.
