Mawingu expands high-speed internet to Mandera

Mawingu, a prominent Internet Service Provider (ISP), has announced the extension of its high-speed internet network to Mandera County. This expansion brings the total number of counties connected by Mawingu’s network to 30 across Kenya.

In its progress update for the second half of 2024, Mawingu CEO Farouk Ramji highlighted this achievement as a significant step towards the company’s long-term goal of making high-quality connectivity accessible to more Kenyans.

“Mawingu marks yet another milestone towards our long-term vision of making meaningful connectivity accessible to more Kenyans at very competitive price points, comparative to other service providers, by building sustainable, flexible infrastructure in underserved regions,” Ramji stated.

Additionally, Mawingu has strengthened its network coverage in Garissa County by investing in fiber delivery infrastructure. The ISP is set to lay over 30 kilometres of fiber to enhance connectivity in the region.

Ramji explained that the company’s expansion strategy is driven by valuable insights and experiences gained over time. “Our progressive expansion into more counties across Kenya, with a focus on providing meaningful Internet to these unserved and underserved areas, has been largely informed by key learnings and strategic insights,” he said.

He further emphasized Mawingu’s dedication to addressing the connectivity needs of its customers. “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,” Ramji added.
