The Kenya Data Networks will roll out a Sh210 million initiative geared to expanding its ICT reach. The project called 'Digital Village Constituency Cluster' will target the rural population.
With the help of project KDN will install VSat base stations in each of the country's constituency. The company is aiming to help Kenyans harness the untapped potential in the rural areas while enabling them acquire relevant ICT skills for the sake of development. KDN will use its butterfly product to broaden distribution of local content. Under the programme, each constituency cluster will consist of minimum eight (8) digital units serving commercial, developmental and educational activities within a 15km radius. People will be able to access the Internet through a dedicated wireless infrastructure guaranteeing reliable single hop connectivity. Through a pilot project, KDN will connect 40 constituencies in collaboration with ICTvillage.com and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund amongst other organisations.
