Jamii Telecommunications Limited has become Safaricoms broadband infrastructure provider.
Jamii's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joshua Chepkwony confirmed the agreement on Tuesday saying it is a milestone for the Kenyan ICT industry.
"Jamii has made a significant investment in developing its fibre network," said Mr Chepkwony.
He expressed confidence that Jamii would be able to comfortably handle Safaricom's demanding requirements.
Jamii Telecommunications is one of Kenya's leading broadband infrastructure providers and this alliance effectively gives Safaricom access to its over 1,000 kilometres of fibre network in its cities of operation.
"This relationship is key to the success of the company's overall data strategy and is an integral part of our commitment as management to continually enhance the value proposition for our shareholders," said Safaricom's CEO Mr Michael Joseph.
