en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kenyan operator Safaricom has recently joined hands with Huawei to pioneer the launch of a Fiber to the Room (FTTR) home broadband solution in the local market, attempting to provide a new approach to home network coverage.

This service was officially launched on Monday, extending fiber connectivity to every corner of the home by deploying independent optical access points in each room. Safaricom stated that this architecture can guarantee stable transmission rates and low latency, while eliminating signal dead zones and attenuation, achieving seamless roaming.

The entire system also incorporates artificial intelligence-based network monitoring and self-optimization functions, enabling automated performance management and smooth compatibility with users' existing smart home devices. The operator believes that compared to the traditional method of relying on a single router to distribute Wi-Fi, FTTR is better suited to adapt to the growing number of devices and the sustained demands of high-bandwidth scenarios such as gaming and high-definition video calls.

Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa commented on this partnership project: "Today's homes need more than just connectivity; they need an always-on digital ecosystem. Through our partnership with Huawei, we are delivering a truly immersive connected home experience that meets the evolving needs of modern families."

A week before the launch of this FTTR solution, Safaricom had already announced that it would more than double the speeds of most of its fiber broadband packages, with the entry-level service increasing from 5Mbps to 15Mbps, while keeping the tariffs unchanged. The Diamond and Platinum tier packages continue to maintain speeds of 500Mbps and 1Gbps, and the Wi-Fi Bamba project targeting affordable housing also remains at 10Mbps. Currently, Safaricom's home fiber network covers over 800,000 households.
