African satellite services provider GS Telecom has installed a high-rise teleport in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, to provide telecommunications services throughout the country. GS Telecom is installing a ViaSat [VSAT] Linkway DAMA Network Control Center at the teleport, which will provide full mesh voice and data networks across the country and the continent.

The teleport’s first customer will be a bank with branches in eastern and southern Africa. GS Telecom was granted a telecommunications license by Mozambique authorities in 2002.
