Liquid Intelligent Technologies has announced the completion of its fibre network extension from Ramatlabama to Ramokgwebana.
The 730 kilometres network marks the first-ever direct connection from northern Botswana along the A1 road and bringing key towns, such as Francistown, Mahalapye, and Palapye, into the fold.
“This fibre extension project is a milestone for Botswana, strengthening the country’s economic hubs and connecting major commercial centres. The high-speed connectivity access is set to benefit urban centres and rural communities along the route and further expand our presence in Botswana and the continent through the One Africa Digital Network. It will bring additional multi-terabit capacity and resilience to the region,” said Odirile Tamajobe, Managing Director of Liquid Botswana.
The network will also connect with the fibre networks in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan to provide cross-border digital infrastructure.
According to the company, the network also empowers local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to expand their services to retail customers, indirectly benefiting household users across the region and further contributing to regional employment opportunities.
