Airtel Uganda has unveiled a new solution for homes, Small and Medium Enterprises that offers uninterrupted internet at affordable rates. The company has launched a new Airtel BroadBand Outdoor Unit, which goes for a one-off entry cost of UGX 280,000 inclusive of a 51GB of Data valid for 30 days, free installation and device maintenance.
The fixed internet device comes in a unique slim design and has the ability to connect 32 internet-powered devices including laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, game consoles, security cameras and many others to internet.
Airtel Uganda’s Managing Director Mr. V.G. Somasekhar says the solution is ideal for businesses that need a reliable, fast internet for uninterrupted operations. He adds that it as well addresses the need for the smart home since it supports simultaneous connections for streaming online content, e-entertainment; while still acting as a WiFi Router for the entire house at the same capped monthly cost.
“The solution offers the best internet experience at the most affordable rate of less than Shs2,000 per GB.”
Hon. Werikhe Kafabusa, the State Minister For Trade, lauded Airtel Uganda for the substantial investment in innovations geared towards the economic development of Uganda through small and medium enterprises.
“SMEs form a major block of Uganda’s economy contributing immensely to the development of our country. Technology and Innovation are some of the drivers of socio-economic growth and transformation the world over. In Uganda specifically, the growth of the ICT innovation ecosystem has mainly been private sector led. This is an indicator of a conducive investment climate and I am happy to see a telecommunications company like Airtel using this environment to improve lives of the citizens.”
