Vanu Rwanda uses the latest small-cell technology from its affiliate Vanu, Inc. to serve markets that have previously been unserved by mobile operators. The Vanu solution is a complete cellular base station in a sealed all-weather outdoor enclosure which is about the size of two reams of paper. It is energy efficient and capable of supporting voice and data services, using standards compliant radios built around software defined radio technologies. It uses a simple Internet connection for backhaul to our core network. Our energy efficient deployment localizes mobile coverage and supports our mobile network operator partners.
Our sites function on solar power and batteries. Because of our collaborative service to multiple network operators simultaneously, we lower the cost per subscriber to a level that permits sustainable service in sparsely populated areas.
