Moreover, as part of the demonstration, SES has also been working with the project’s official commission, which includes representatives of Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry, to determine the successfulness and capabilities of the satellite-enabled internet connectivity.

During the commission’s official visit, multiple applications have been tested successfully, such as ability to watch videos and perform video calls and a new record of 419Mbps downlink and 149Mbps uplink has been set.
