within weeks of partnering with us – delivering affordable, high-speed
Internet access to businesses and residences in Northern Uganda.

Backed by Volo’s software integration and expert network design, this new
Internet Service Provider (ISP) – called *Zoom Wireless*
<http://volobroadband.us3.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=c173ad77964e83e9ed58c91d7&id=dab074ca9f&e=a8177726d9>
– is up and running in less than 12 weeks and delivering the most
affordable high-speed data service in Uganda. With Volo’s engagement, Zoom
Wireless has designed and deployed a carrier-grade last mile WiFi network.
This network is fiber-backed and integrated with the latest cloud-based
management software, enabling Zoom Wireless to deploy it with 10 times less
capital and equipment-related operating cost than traditional LTE networks.

Building on the success of Zoom Wireless, Volo is now ready to make our
cloud-based ISP automation platform available in limited release and work
with providers across Africa to demonstrate the speed and profitability
that can be achieved with our system and expertise.

It’s been a busy two months since our last update and our momentum is
building! You can read more about our updates below (as well as in TechLoy

Productivity*
Zoom Wireless parent company SINFA Uganda LTD also operates a microwork
division where employees perform digital business process outsourcing that
is 100% reliant on Internet access to download and upload data. Connected
to the Zoom Wireless network in July as an early customer trial, the amount
of microwork completed in one month was double their typical output. This
boom in productivity meant they were able to not only perform more work but
also employ more workers, increasing both revenue and job opportunities in
this formerly war-torn region.            [image: Zoom Wireless Logo]   *Meet

offers a range of high-speed fixed wireless service plans for corporate and
small business/residential customers. These services include unlimited
usage and symmetrical upload/download speeds backed by reliable local
customer service and technical support. Customer response has been
immediate with hotels, Internet cafes, restaurants and large NGO operations
signing up quickly as soon as services were available and many more
businesses contacting the sales team to learn more as word spreads.

The Volo-backed Zoom Wireless NOC (Network Operations Center) in Gulu is
the nerve center of the newly installed network. From here, engineers
monitor the health of the network, task field engineers with maintenance
and customer installation tasks, and escalate issues to appropriate team
members. The NOC is also equipped with automated monitoring and alerts to
ensure network stability and quick response times from the skilled
technical team. With our support, this new network is fast, reliable and
designed to scale effectively.
