CEO and co-founder Kendall Ananyi said: “We leverage inexpensive wireless capacity and the plummeting cost of solar panels to create a low capex and opex network of owned and operated towers.”
“We’re able to offer customers unlimited internet at 30 to 50% the cost of traditional mobile data plans,” he added.
Tizeti raised a $3 million Series A round in 2018 and has built a suite of internet-driven products to capture market share. In addition to ISP services, it launched a Skype-like personal and business enterprise communications service — WiFCall.ng— in April 2019.
