Jens Langenhorst - Sales Manager, SES


Jens has had a passion for RF from an early age, starting as a teenager with his hobby in amateur radio and working as a student on the SunSat satellite project. In 1997 he joined Siemens Semiconductors AG, later Infineon Technologies AG, in Munich Germnay, as an RF engineer in the R&D team for RF cellular chipsets. During the first year he was delegated to Princeton, NJ USA, and a second time to San Diego, totaling 6 of his 10 years with the company. He returned to South Africa in 2007 with Nokia Mobile Phones, and joined Internet Solutions in 2010. Here he built, migrated and managed their new satellite teleport in Isando and then went on plan the national microwave network, at which point he became involved in WAPA and was soon elected into the Executive team. Most recently Jens joined the world-leading satellite operator, SES, as a Commercial Sales Manager for Southern Africa.

As an executive member of WAPA, Jens established the Future Wireless Technology Forum (FWTF) in 2014, which is a series of collaborative discussions hosted by WAPA. It provides a neutral platform with the purpose to explore trends, best practices, and opportunities for new wireless technologies and solutions in the context of the regulatory framework of South Africa.
