About

Vanu Rwanda, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vanu, Inc., is committed to connecting the unconnected in rural Rwanda. Vanu’s model combines technology and business model innovation to cost effectively serve the rural population. The solution deployed by Vanu Rwanda is a complete end to end solution and addresses rural cellular access with a smart new approach:

1. Solar Powered

• Base station power consumption of 50W and site requires only 90W

2. Wholesale Network

• Supports multiple carriers in rural areas, improving network economics
• No direct subscribers, but rather accommodates the subscribers of all carriers

3. Small-Cell

• Our small cell sites have a range of 2-3km radius
• Focus coverage to where people live, work and commute
• Over 90% of people in rural areas live and work within a few km of a road
• Outdoor small cell architecture reduces network costs

Vanu Rwanda, works with the local government and employs local people to do site surveys, site construction, site commissioning and network operations.
