    Liquid Telkom’s Kenyan operation has rolled out 138 IoT base stations in the country. This is in addition to the 20 initial base stations set up in 2018.

    The Internet of Things (IoT) network covers 78% of the East African country’s population.

    These stations will connect to Liquid Telecom’s fiber network in 41 Kenyan counties. The move is aimed at improving internet speeds and reliability around the country.

    Liquid Telecom claims to be helping the counties improve their economic fortunes through vastly improved networks.

    14 counties formed an economic block in order to leverage the economies of scale and benefit off of shared resources.

    The 14 countries are: Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori, Kakamega, Bungoma, Busia, Vihiga, Trans Nzoia, Kisii, Nyamira, Bomet, Nandi, Kisumu, and Kericho.

    Liquid Telecom’s Head of Government Business, Mr. William Oungo, said, ‘The delivery of the base stations is in line with the regional bloc’s resolution on improving ICT infrastructure to enhance service delivery within the LREB member counties.”

    He added, “Liquid Telecom Kenya has so far connected 41 counties and we are trying to make sure that the right environment for innovation, fields such as data science, machine learning and gaming can also be carried out in the rural counties as well as their commercialization without necessarily associating the urban towns with such capabilities.”

    Liquid Telecom developed Africa’s largest independent fibre network, spanning over 50,000km across Africa.
