Bringing the world to Malawi through digital transformation

We are a directorate within ESCOM that operates a national wide overhead Optic Fibre backbone network strung on electricity infrastructure reaching all parts of the country and the National Data Centre supported by the Malawi Government. This gives the business supreme advantages of stability, availability, reliability, efficiency and security

The business has a small customer base due to licensing model. It is regulated by the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) with three licences namely Internet Service Provider (ISP), International Gateway and Carrier of Carriers.
