Lagos-Based ICT Provider Brings Affordable WiFi To Nigeria

Nigeria now stands to enjoy unlimited WiFi access, starting with Lagos, courtesy of Tizeti ICT provider.

While recent trends reveal that the demands for staying connected and the models for accessing the Internet are changing, it is gradually driving a new network strategy that adopts next generation WiFi technology that scales coverage and capacity quickly, using smaller cell sizes.

For over 3 years, Tizeti, a Lagos-based Information Communications Technology (ICT) provider has been deploying uncapped high-speed internet access to estates, offices, multi-tenant buildings, malls, etc using a next generation WiFi technology.

The company has now launched in Lekki Phase 1, arguably the largest estate in Nigeria with about 5,000 homes, and deployed three base stations supplying up to 1Gbps internet speeds to the residents utilizing small cell WiFi technology.

With a carrier WiFi-ready access point available within the estate, residents are able to get access using modems and individual routers installed in their homes.

Each subscriber gets two SSIDs, one for their own personal use and the other as a mobile hotspot or for roaming customers. With this, subscribers can get access to WiFi connection anywhere Tizeti has an available network.

"Lekki Phase 1 represents a significant growth opportunity for Tizeti and was next in our expansion given the success we enjoyed while serving estates and multi-tenant buildings around Lekki", said Edio Ogwu, General Manager Sales & Marketing at Tizeti in a statement.

"Tizeti has shown again and again that the Company has a proven, market model with huge growth potential. Based on these experiences across all of our existing estates, we expect the expansion into Lekki Phase 1 will be oversubscribed by their residents. Moving into 2015, we look forward to building our presence across Lagos and other target markets outside Lagos State," he added.

With pricing starting at N8,500/month for its residential unlimited plan which also comes with a one-time set-up fee of N11,500, users would get uncapped WiFi with average download and upload speeds from 3Mbps, US IP address and 24/7 support. Tizeti also boasts 99% uptime in service delivery and fast responsive support.

Although the company is currently pushing its carrier WiFi network with plans to cover major areas in Lagos, its other product offerings such as VOIP, IPTV and CCTV could make it become a real game changer.
