Notes:

Bushnet is a limited liability company incorporated in Uganda in 1996 and in Kenya in 1999. Bushnet was formed to provide the first commercial application of the Deep Field Mailing System, a technique of transmitting data over HF radio that was developed for the World Food Programme by founding directors of Bushnet. In the last eight years, Bushnet has established a consistent and remarkable record of innovation and has pioneered several notable ‘firsts’ in the region. Our principal strengths lie in data (IP) and wireless (RF). Bushnet has invested heavily in research and development, and in training highly competent Ugandan and Kenyan teams, while installing robust networks for leading corporate entities in the region, including key government entities. We use a combination of leading brand products and technologies - e.g. Cisco, Ericsson, Extreme, Karlnet, Krone, Lucent, Redline, Wyse. Our values are based on integrity, innovation, empowerment, and re-investment. Our solutions are focussed on providing the highest levels of speed and reliability for users and customers, at the lowest costs. Bushnet has created a unique Wireless Access Network across Uganda. Formerly known as HSDN (High Speed Data Network), the rural reach offered by this wireless network is as extensive as it is impressive. We call it 'Ten By Ten'. In addition to being a preferred Information and Communications Technology service partner for most corporations and large institutions, Bushnet is also becoming a true Application Service Provider - probably the first such provider in Africa.
