Tigo Rwanda has connected 125 Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) offices and posts at the provincial, district and sector level with a secure VPN link connecting the tax collection centers to RRA head offices.
The VPN project, which started in August 2016 was completed and handed over to RRA on 23, December 2016.
This secured VPN link allows various RRA branches located at local government offices to send data to RRA Headquarters in Kimihurura, Kigali City in real time.
Commenting on the successful completion, Tigo Rwanda Chief Business Officer (CBO), AmitChawla, said:
“With the completion of our first large-scale VPN project, we have proved that Tigo Rwanda is a serious player in the ICT market. This partnership is further proof that Tigo is a reliable service provider for both data and voice solutions”.
This latest partnership comes on the heels of Tigo Rwanda’s commissioning of a wholesale IP Transit service for KT Rwanda Networks. On 4, August, Tigo Rwanda became the first Rwandan telecom operator to provide IP transfers at such a large scale. Under this 10-year partnership with KT Rwanda Networks, Tigo Rwanda will provide STM-4 Bandwidth over a secured network with a bit rate of 622Mbit/s. Previously, international Internet traffic from Rwanda relied on regional and international carriers such as BCS-Kenya, WIOCC, and SeaComm.
