Damy Engineering said its SES-supported offer would also include an online learning platform and free Internet terminals in post offices throughout the country. The company is partnering with La Poste du Benin and Nomotech to rollout the services.

   “How can we establish an internet culture in a country lacking interconnection infrastructure, where cabled Internet (xDSL) is notoriously inaccessible and ‘white zones’ constitute the overwhelming majority of the national territory?” Damy Engineering General Manager Charles-Joel Djikpesse said in a statement. “It is within this context of seeking solutions to allow equal access to its platform that Damy Engineering became interested in alternative technologies for Internet access. SES Broadband Services and its world-class services have emerged as a compelling solution – proven and easy to deploy.”
