Overview
Coverage, quality of service, security.
The architecture aims for broad territorial coverage, a quality of service suited to each use, and a high level of security and resilience. It allows a gradual scale-up, within the budgetary and institutional limits of the State.
Functional separation
Three levels, each with its own role.
Global transport, national control and local access are kept separate. The national level retains control over sovereignty, security and compliance.
Principles
A layer that complements, without replacing.
The satellite
Fast, wide-reaching transport capacity, especially for rural, remote or scattered areas, within a controlled value chain.
Existing networks
COMTELL strengthens and extends terrestrial and mobile networks, and interconnects with public platforms and institutional information systems.
Continuity
Gradual extension of coverage and capacity; service maintained during terrestrial outages or crises.
Deployment
A gradual scale-up, starting with Angola.
