Pakistan: Kacific, PAKSAT satellite internet partnership

March 11, 2025

Kacific Broadband Satellites Group and PAKSAT are partnering to expand high-speed, affordable satellite internet across Pakistan, where over 54 per cent of the population lacks reliable broadband.

Leveraging 11 Ka-band spot beams on the Paksat MM1 satellite, this partnership will bridge the digital divide and support the country’s growing connectivity needs. With high-throughput capacity for over 20,000 sites, the collaboration will provide essential broadband access for communities, businesses, government agencies, ISPs and telcos, enabling mobile backhaul and backup connectivity in remote regions.

“SUPARCO’s story is one of unwavering ambition. Since its inception, we have been driven by a vision to propel Pakistan’s journey into the cosmos,” said Muhammad Yousuf Khan, Chairman of SUPARCO. “The partnership between PAKSAT and Kacific will certainly bridge the digital divide in Pakistan and will empower countless communities.”

“Improving Pakistan’s connectivity will have a positive impact on the country’s economy and its communities,” said Dr Shahid Rasheed, CEO of PAKSAT. “The people of Pakistan, like those of other developed countries, can expect to enjoy fast, affordable internet wherever they live and work. That’s a goal that PAKSAT is striving to achieve day and night.”

“With this partnership, Kacific is making a long-term investment in Pakistan’s digital future,” added Christian Patouraux, CEO of Kacific. “We’re expanding ISP partnerships, training KAD installers, and deploying essential infrastructure to meet the country’s growing connectivity needs.”
