Othee Technologies is an authorized Starlink installation partner in Uganda. Around Starlink we build a wider satellite and space connectivity division: OneWeb and VSAT enterprise links, satellite backup internet, tower and ISP backhaul, satellite-to-mobile, IoT and tracking, maritime and aviation connectivity, and satellite data for agriculture, mining, weather and security.
It fits what we already do: networking, ISP and telecom infrastructure, security systems, automation and agriculture. We design the solution, work with the provider or its authorised distributor, supply and install the ground equipment and support it afterwards.
Open a service for what we do, what we need from you and the companies in that segment, or add it to your quotation.
