Wireless Planet is Tungana’s initiative to provide wireless Internet access to rural communities. The initiative is meant to drive adoption of the emerging technologies while bridging the digital divide gap. In this era of massive mobile applications, startup growth, robotics and Industry 4.0, Internet is key. No technology solution is going to thrive without access to the Internet and Internet services such as Internet of Things (IoT), cloud storage and analytics. Tungana therefore prides itself in taking part to reach out to the underserved and unserved communities and bringing them “online”. Wireless Planet intends to enhance access to e-government services and technology solutions and achieve its overall vision of contributing to the UN sustainable development goals: 4 (Quality Education), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Wireless planet has already launched in Yala, a small town in Siaya County. Major developments are already underway in Nyeri, Baringo, Narok and Bomet counties for the 2020-2021 strategy.
