In 2013, Erik and his team of engineers launched a startup here in Nairobi. They’re now the largest provider of free, public wi-fi in Sub-Saharan Africa. They’ve equipped 1,500 matatus (city buses) with access points, so riders can get online. We took a ride in one today. https://t.co/5q5LAf9d5w — PolitiTweet.org

Embu, Kenya is a bustling market town a few hour’s drive from Nairobi. A fixed wireless provider @MawinguNetworks, is helping to close the digital divide and expand economic opportunity here by using unlicensed spectrum and installing new hotspots. Let’s check it out. https://t.co/T8M072SPfz — PolitiTweet.org

The connection does more than save Jacinta time and boost productivity on her small farm. The solar panel + technology set up also generates extra power, which she uses to turn on the lights at night so her grandkids can study. https://t.co/os4RbwmKnt — PolitiTweet.org

A wireless connection now brings smart ag technology to Jacinta’s farm. A solar panel powers a water pump while soil, weather, & other IoT sensors will soon send data to the cloud where AI can crunch the information, optimizing water use and boosting productivity. https://t.co/Jgua4Qi1n7 — PolitiTweet.org

Jacinta runs a small farm here in Matanya, Kenya, which is a few hours outside Nairobi and off the power grid. She spent 3 hours a day pumping water to grow food for her grandkids. A wireless connection + solar power from a U.S. company changed that. https://t.co/qYLNhy4eVk — PolitiTweet.org

In Wood County, Ohio, agriculture is getting a boost from high-speed broadband. From on top the grain elevator at Luckey Farms, you can see the 250+ homes that are getting broadband from one local provider. https://t.co/oKZNv2e7UV — PolitiTweet.org
