Lynk Global, Inc. has signed a new contract with Telecel Group in Africa to provide mobile coverage to 100% of Ghana’s population using its “cell-towers-in-space”. This marks the company’s second commercial contract with Telecel Group in Africa and a significant milestone in the satellite-direct-to-standard-phone category.
Lynk’s technology will enable Telecel Group to offer ubiquitous geographic coverage to over 6 million Vodafone Ghana subscribers, extending rural coverage and serving as a backup for service resilience and continuity of IoT devices. The satellite technology will also act as a replacement for underperforming terrestrial towers.

“We are excited at the possibilities this partnership brings to the country. It provides the unique opportunity to connect everyone everywhere and accelerates the benefits that connectivity offers in health, education and job creation, especially for our women and youth”, said Patricia Obo-Nai, CEO of Vodafone Ghana.
Following the takeover of its majority shares by Telecel Group, Vodafone Ghana has leveraged the partnership between Lynk and Telecel Group to provide innovative services and widespread mobile coverage across Ghana’s rural areas. Charles Miller, CEO of Lynk, emphasized that the company is the only patented, proven and commercially-licensed provider of satellite-direct-to-standard-phone technology in the world.
