Why Fiber Still Matters
Despite the rise of wireless and satellite technologies, fiber remains the gold standard for high-speed, low-latency internet. In Africa, where digital inclusion is critical for economic growth, expanding fiber access is essential for education, healthcare, and commerce.
The Last-Mile Barrier
While major cities are increasingly connected, rural and peri-urban areas still face significant barriers. The “last mile”, the final leg of connectivity to homes and businesses is often the most expensive and logistically complex part of the network.
The Approach by Rhodium Gate
We are addressing the last-mile challenge with a mix of underground fiber, aerial deployments, and hybrid wireless-fiber solutions. Our AI-driven capex planning tools help optimize routes, reduce costs, and accelerate deployment timelines.
Community Impact
In partnership with government at all level and Internet/Broadband Service Providers, we are rolling out affordable fiber-to-home packages that bring reliable internet to underserved communities. This is more than infrastructure, it is a foundation for opportunity, growth and explosion.
