Konnect Africa, Eutelsat’s pan-continental broadband initiative, has launched its first internet access offers throughout the DRC.
At the end of last November, it said internet access solutions for both households and SMEs were now available from a large network of local resellers across the country.
Konnect Africa unveiled a range of eight pre-paid offers for individuals and businesses.
It described the packages as “suitable for all consumer profiles”, with data usage deals ranging from 5GB to unlimited for professional users.
The broadband speeds on offer are up to 20Mbps for downloads and up to 3Mbps for uploads.
The company says the packages are available in six major cities via a network of eight resellers totalling nearly 500 stores and retail points.
Konnect Africa claims it has ensured the widest possible coverage by working closely with a large network of local partners specialised in various fields ranging from the distribution of telecom and television services to financial services.
The company adds that its initial offers will soon be supplemented by the arrival of a Wi-Fi hotspot service – Konnect Wifi will provide broadband internet access at heavy traffic points such as in hospitals, schools, universities, stores, etc.
