Roke Telkom Elevates Fibre Internet For Homes and Businesses

Roke Telkom has today launched a Fibre to the Home (FTTH) and Fibre to the Enterprise (FTTE) services campaign dubbed “Live The Roke Life”, marking a significant milestone for the company as it directly connects residences, enterprises, and institutions to a state-of-the-art fiber-optic network. Unlike traditional broadband technologies such as microwaves — FTTH, and FTTE utilize optical fiber cables which deliver unparalleled speed, reliability, and performance.

Peter Muhumuza, the Chief Technical Officer at Roke Telkom said, “We are driven by the desire to provide Ugandans with internet that is reliable, fast, up to date, and accessible in all corners of the country. Today we take a significant step towards achieving this desire.” He added, “With FTTH and FTTE, our customers can expect lightning-fast internet speeds, minimal latency, and robust connectivity, enabling them to seamlessly engage in activities such as gaming, streaming, remote work, and online learning.”

Muhumuza concluded by noting that by leveraging this campaign, they’re poised to bring the transformative power of fiber optic technology to even more households and businesses.

Fibre optic internet offers an array of benefits, including reliable connectivity, ultra-fast internet speeds, low latency, and support for multiple devices. Roke Telkom’s FTTH and FTTE are poised to give users blazing-fast download and upload speeds, ensuring a smooth online experience for all activities. In addition, FTTH and FTTE can effortlessly accommodate multiple connected devices simultaneously, making them ideal for businesses [especially] with high bandwidth demands.

The campaign “Live the Roke Life” fiber is aimed at expanding Roke Telkom’s FTTH and FTTE coverage across targeted areas. The campaign underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing internet accessibility and empowering individuals and businesses with pioneering connectivity solutions.

Jesse Ntale, the Brand and Marketing Manager at Roke Telkom noted that the company is dedicated to enriching the lives of their customers by providing them with superior internet connectivity that fuels their aspirations and endeavors.
