We are starting in Guinea-Bissau, a country with a population of 1.7 million, and that ranks very close to the bottom in world rankings of literacy, GDP per capita, and Human Development Index.

The Internet can help to change all of this. Guinea-Bissau currently has no 4G, no 3G, not even 2.5G (EDGE).

Cajutels is building the infrastructure from the ground up to bring reliable highspeed broadband internet at affordable prices to West Africa. This will bring education and business to the region while giving millions of users first time access to the wealth of knowledge that exists online.

This is a clean build: We aren’t retrofitting existing infrastructure, we haven't invented some device that will improve efficiency by an enormous level -- we’re simply bringing the infrastructure that exists elsewhere in the world to a region where it does not exist. We’re building a network from the ground up. This will take significant upfront funding, but it will open up so many opportunities that simply can't come to fruition under the current system.
