President Muhammadu Buhari has tasked African nations to deploy the Nigerian Communications Satellite (NIGCOMSAT) 1R for aviation services and in other critical sectors to boost economic activities in the continent.<\/p>\n

President Buhari<\/a> gave this urge on Thursday while declaring open a workshop on Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) implementation in Aviation in Africa.<\/p>\n

The SBAS demonstration flights were undertaken by NIGCOMSAT ltd, Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and ANGA on February 1st using NAMA\u2019s Beechcraft King Air 350i.<\/p>\n

The event was co-hosted by the Federal ministry of aviation and its parastatals, and also the ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, represented by NAMA, NCAA, NIGCOMSAT in conjunction with international partners such like joint Programme office Satellite Navigation office for Africa, European Action on Space, Augmented Navigation for Africa.<\/p>\n

Represented by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Pantami, President Buhari noted that the satellite is currently operational and functional and covers the whole of Africa, and part of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean, as well as part of Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

He added that the satellite -NIGCOMSAT IR has the capacity to support the implementation of the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) not only in Nigeria but in the whole of Africa with 54 countries and urged African nations to consider the Nigerian Communication Satellite when the need arises.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The Nigerian Communications Satellite 1R is a federal government investment, which is a hybrid satellite that can provide navigation overlay service. The satellite is operational and functional, it covers the whole of Africa, which is a minimum of 3,370,000 km, from North to South, 8,000kms, from east to west around 7400 km.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018In addition to that, the satellite covers part of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean, it covers parts of Asia and Europe. Our satellite here in Nigeria has the capacity to provide the navigation overlay services.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The Nigerian Communications Satellite has the capacity to support the implementation of the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) not only in Nigeria but in the whole of Africa with 54 countries, urging African nations to consider the Nigerian Communication Satellite when the need arises.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The deployment of SBAS by using the navigation overlay services will significantly improve accuracy of signal, its availability and integrity.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018This shows that communication and digital technology are the key enablers of all other sectors of security, defence, health, Agriculture, education and the aviation sectors depend on digital technology,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Pantami also tasked NIGCOMSAT to collaborate and reach out to the aviation sector to ensure successful implementation of SBAS in Africa.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Managing Director of NIGCOMSAT, Engr. Tukur Lawal said NIGCOMSAT is transforming even as he pledged that the agency would give all the needed support to the partnership with the aviation sector to ensure the success of the effort.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cwe are here in Abuja, Nigeria to demonstrate the benefits of the future operational safety-of-life SBAS services, which is expected to be fully operational soon to aviation and non-aviation stakeholders with disruptive applications.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The Nigerian Communications Satellite 1R (NigComSat1R) has L-Band transponders (L1 and L5) onboard meant to provide navigation overlay (NOS) in Africa and beyond. This is Africa s first contribution to Global Navigation Satellite.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018We will continue to do all that is required to demonstrate and showcase the capabilities of SBAS not only in the Aviation sector but also non-Aviation sectors to drum up the required collective resources by stakeholders to adopt SBAS for its many benefits and applications on a continental scale.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018This is in line with policy direction of the Honorable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy for value addition and propensity not only in the Telecommunications Sector but Aviation, Maritime, Rail Transport, Precision Agriculture, Survey, Oil & Gas and Mass-Market Applications for sustainable development beyond Nigerian shores.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
