Longtime iWayAfrica chairman, John Nagenda, said at the time: “We are delighted to appoint Godfrey Sserwamukoko to the board of iWayAfrica Uganda as managing director. Godfrey has already demonstrated his leadership capabilities as he rebuilt iWayAfrica over the past two years. We are confident of his ability to nurture the great talent we have and take the company from strength to strength in Uganda.”
Sserwamukoko outlined his plans in an interview with Bizcommunity.africa at the end of 2017.
Growth of the upcountry market channels.
As with other African countries, the next frontier is proliferation of high bandwidth terrestrial data solutions into previously low bandwidth pre-LTE wireless or VSAT monopoly areas especially by the wireless LTE/Wi-Fi platforms. These gradually become wired fibre on a basic 3km radius for major cities, municipalities and towns – so this is creating cut throat competition in the infrastructure rollout business.
Price downshift pressures as a result of the stagnating economy.
This growth is mainly in the consumer spectrum around mobile related services such as mobile money and entry level internet access for social media access – this is good for the whole market spectrum given that graduation from mobile to fixed access links happens in three to five year cycles.
Core strategy is to have service built on four core principles: reliability, speed, responsiveness and great customer care.
Impressive uptake of data service on mobile computing platforms offering opportunities for infrastructure builds in the Wi-Fi hotspot business.
We offer a 360 degree communication solution profile countrywide either employing our terrestrial fibre, wireless networks or satellite VSAT solutions. We have unique competences in all the technology solutions enabling us to deliver on our strategic intent.
Experience and synergies within the Gondwana Group – we have a unique group of experiences and competencies that provide an enabling environment to successfully think and create on the go.
I am a hands-on person given my background, so I live by the motto that if my employees succeed I succeed as well.
I trust God. Period.
