OneWeb and Tinsky Complete First West African LEO Satellite Gateway

Tinsky and OneWeb have announced the installation 15 of OneWeb antennas and equipment at their gateway facility in Accra, Ghana

TinSky Connect has completed the installation of 15 OneWeb antennas and customer-provided equipment at a Satellite Network Portal (SNP) or gateway facility in Accra, Ghana.

OneWeb and TinSky Connect worked closely together to bring the installation of the antenna to completion in just six weeks. “The site is now commissioning and will be ready for service later in 2022. Tinsky understood the complexity of the multiple satellite ‘ hands offs’ each gateway must achieve per second and deployed a highly experienced team of field engineers that provided advanced system engineering and technical services addressing OneWeb’s mission-critical SNP gateway needs at low risk and within budget.

The teamwork between OneWeb and TinSky resulted in the project successfully completed and all SNP gateways handed over within the schedule.

TinSky has the proven experience to consistently deliver technically challenging projects on time and within budget. We now look forward to delivering the same high standard of work on our other ongoing projects in other key locations on the continent.
