ZANZIBAR, November 27, 2025 – Zanlink Limited is rolling out significant internet infrastructure upgrades across Zanzibar, specifically designed to provide faster and more reliable connectivity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and households as the island’s dependence on digital platforms continues to grow.
The telecommunications company has been executing a comprehensive modernization strategy over the past two years, involving substantial investment in expanding its FTTX fiber network, strengthening wireless infrastructure, and establishing a 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) to monitor service quality continuously.
According to company officials, the upgrades specifically target improved service reliability and significantly reduced internet disruptions for business and residential customers alike.
A key focus of the initiative involves expanding coverage beyond central business districts to previously underserved areas. Zanlink is extending both fiber and wireless networks while introducing more affordable internet plans tailored for homes and small businesses operating outside urban centers.
The company has also formed strategic partnerships with firms including Liquid Intelligent Technologies to enable advanced services such as cloud hosting, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and enhanced cybersecurity – tools increasingly essential for businesses operating in today’s digital economy.
Zanlink engineers have addressed Zanzibar’s unique connectivity challenges, including dependency on submarine cables and equipment vulnerability to salt corrosion, by implementing robust backup systems and deploying marine-grade equipment designed for the island’s coastal environment.
“These upgrades represent more than just faster internet speeds,” a company representative stated. “We’re building a digital infrastructure that can transform how local businesses operate and compete.”
The enhanced connectivity is expected to benefit various sectors, including tourism – where hotel
