HINT’s IT Technician present during deployment of Invineo systems at Bafia

by Leave a Comment

HINT’s relentless efforts in providing ICT to the underprivileged and local community at no cost has been a challenge. We are concerned about serving you better. The installation in Bafia wasn’t any problem at all except that it had a lot of work since only three technicians were involved. HINT’s representative enjoyed a good climatic condition,while in Bafia.

We are very pleased to have Inveneo as our ICT partner. HINT wishes to sett up a project to supply Buea with cheap Internet services, from a single or more Access Point(s). We believe with a single Access point (Nano station 2) which is very cheap and efficient it can cover the whole of Buea looking at the sloppy nature of the Town.

This can only be done with your support. If you make this happen please contact us.
