Zuku, a home entertainment and communication services brand under the Wananchi Group, has launched a 50 Mbps home based internet service in Kenya, in order to meet the country s growing information and communications technology (ICT) demands. The initiative will allow Internet users to enjoy seamless data, voice and video services.

Richard Alden, CEO of the Wananchi Group commented, Kenyans are now demanding more speed, and this demand has fuelled our overall broadband strategy by revamping our internet offering. Not only are we now delivering the fastest speed today, but our infrastructure has the capacity to support even higher speeds as demand and usage grows.

Zuku invested over KSh 40m in upgrading network infrastructure to achieve higher speeds, which will provide better speed and reliability for customers to use and enjoy.

Deployed on the company s latest high capacity fibre optic network technology, Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON), the initiative will be piloted to 100 customers in areas such as Runda, Spring Valley and Karen. Further customers will experience the offering when the full roll-out takes place in August.

The deployment of steady connections with high speeds of up to 40Mbps in urban areas, and 5Mbps in rural areas is part of Kenya s National broadband strategy, which will be implemented by 2017.
