Wi-Fi Network Deployed in Rwanda's Capital City

­A wide-scale Wi-Fi network is being deployed in Kigali, Rwanda - based on network equipment supplied by Wavion.

"As a leading communications provider, we are committed to provide our customers with a reliable and affordable broadband connectivity," said Mr. Rami Farah, CTO of MTN Rwanda. "We have chosen Wavion's Wi-Fi solution because of their powerful beamforming technology and their solution architecture which enables a cost-effective carrier-grade network with the highest standards of quality of service".

Wavion's WBS-2400 spatially adaptive beamforming base stations provide extended range, improved indoor penetration, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation and better interference resilience. In this first phase of the project, about 100 WBS-2400 base stations are being installed on MTN Rwanda cellular sites and roof-tops, and will jointly cover the city of Kigali.
