Internet Service Provider (ISP), Mawingu, has today announced the expansion of its services to Bondo in Siaya county. This is the 29th county that the ISP has connected to its network to.
Commenting on this, Mawingu’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Farouk RAMJI said, “Our expansion into Bondo marks another milestone towards our long-term vision of making meaningful connectivity accessible to more Kenyans. The digital economy in the country is rapidly expanding and we want to support more Kenyans to tap into the knowledge and connections that it provides.”
With more than 19,000 active customers, Mawingu remains committed to connecting towns and urban centres which have not been well served and generally neglected by other providers.
Mr. RAMJI adds, “We will continue providing connectivity access to these areas, which have traditionally not been given priority due to the high capital cost and logistical complexities involved in ensuring a stable, reliable, and affordable service. This is in line with our long-term vision of offering meaningful Internet connectivity at very competitive price points comparative to other service providers, by building sustainable, flexible infrastructure in underserved regions.”
To further increase access to its network and improve Internet quality as part of its long-term strategy, Mawingu will be laying out 50 kilometres of fibre in some of its existing markets.
Mr. RAMJI further adds, “Mawingu’s aim is not to simply drop an Internet cable at someone’s doorstep. We seek to help our customers access new opportunities for work, education, entertainment, and social connections through the power of the Internet. Our company’s mission is driven by this very purpose: Open Opportunities.”
Mr. RAMJI concludes, “Mawingu remains committed to going the extra mile to truly meet our customers at their connectivity point of need. To this end, we are firmly focused on expediting our mid-term growth strategy of expanding our connectivity to additional counties across Kenya this year.”
