The partnership between Roke Telkom and GX Group is likely to change the digital environment in Uganda in a big way.

In a move that will go down in history, the largest telecoms company in the world, Roke Telkom, and the largest provider of network solutions in the world, GX Group from India, have joined forces. 

This strategic alliance is about to usher in a period of notable improvement in internet affordability and accessibility within the borders of Uganda.

Roke Telkom and GX Group are ready to help Ugandan users have a better internet experience by releasing a cutting-edge set of affordable Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) devices. This will keep the telecommunications industry on the cutting edge of innovation and progress.

On August 17, 2023, GX Group and Roke Telkom announced their agreement at a press conference in Kampala.

During the news conference, Roger Sekaziga, the CEO of Roke Telkom, stressed that his company serves both urban and rural areas as a local organization that uses Fibre to the Home and a mix of Fibre and Fixed Wireless Networks.

GX India and Roke Telkom supply Uganda’s internet.

In order to provide connectivity to underserved regions of Uganda, he continued, their goal is to assure equitable access to broadband.

“Our main worry has been the high cost of putting in place fibre technology, which would keep people with low incomes from getting high-speed internet. As Sekaziga said, we think that working with GX India will make the switch from fixed wireless to fibre faster and cheaper. This will allow fibre lines to be brought to homes that only have wireless Internet access now.

He also said that by teaming up with a big player like GX India, they will be able to lower the cost of the tools needed for fibre services. This will allow them to bring high-speed internet to more places than they can now.

GX India offers Uganda innovative solutions.

Innovative goods from GX India are sent to Uganda. These include AI-based optical network terminals and software, ongoing remote technical support, and more. As part of the deal, GX India will provide security measures for network devices, specialized solutions, and customization options like screen printing and changing the Graphic User Interface (GUI) page.

Ashu Gupta, Senior Manager of GX Group-India and Africa, praised Roke Telkom’s ongoing efforts to improve internet access in Uganda. He also emphasized that their goal is to use GX India’s experience to provide revolutionary services and solutions.

Edwin Kyambadde Musoke, the CFO of Roke Telkom, was confident in the alliance and said that they hope to bring about good change and help Uganda’s telecommunications industry grow by combining their local expertise and network infrastructure with that of GX India.

GX Group was the first company to offer fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) solutions, and it has been developing FTTH products on a global scale for more than 20 years.

This partnership between Roke Telkom and GX India is in line with Roke Telkom’s plans to give many Ugandans cheap, high-speed internet access through mobile, broadband, fibre, and satellite networks.

This bold move marks a new stage in the country’s technological development. Internet access is expected to break down hurdles, boost socioeconomic growth, and give people more control over their digital lives.
