What is Swazisat Express Wi-Fi?

Swazisat is a company that was registered June 2016 in Eswatini. Its partner companies have over thirty years in the Wi-Fi and wireless communications industry. It has partnered with Facebook and has developed an intuitive cloud-based platform for management of these systems.

How can Swazisat Express Wi-Fi benefit the local communities?

4G Coverage Gaps : In high-density population areas, Express Wi-Fi helps partners identify, deploy, and manage their footprint to complement their mobile offering.
Areas with Low 4G Adoption : While some people can connect, many cannot do so for diverse reasons. Express Wi-Fi offers different business and incentive features to help partners overcome this challenge.
Areas with 4G Congestion : By allowing for seamless roaming on a partner network, end-users will benefit from an always-connected state. As a result, the partner’s business will be able to better manage congested areas due to a better WiFi platform.
Lower cost to market : Unlike its competitors a wireless network can be setup for less than 200.00 USd and operated for less than 30.00 USD a month. That is hundreds of times more cost effective than having to invest in expensive cellular infrastructure. The lower infrastructure costs are also reflected in the low cost and in some cases free access to the internet.
