Originality, Quality & Service

History

K-Net Limited, a Telecommunications Company, is a Private Limited Liability Company registered under the Companies Code 1963, Act 179 of Ghana. The Company originally evolved out of KCS Limited which has been in operation since 1996 specializing in the supply, installation and maintenance of computer hardware systems and accessories.
K-Net, which was incorporated in 1999, has been duly licensed by the National Communications Authority for the provision of data communications and Internet services nationwide.

Since 1999, K-Net has provided Managed Networking and Communications services (Data, Voice and Video) to large, medium and small businesses throughout Ghana with an average annual growth rate since 1999 of nearly 200% year on year. No other primarily Data Communications services provider in Ghana has rivalled this achievement. K-Net key clients are in Banking, Mining, Manufacturing, Governance, Merchandising etc.

Service Philosophy

K-Net networks are utilities which integrate various telecommunication platforms and solutions using its expertise to create unique product and service offerings in managed networks. Solutions that are affordable and readily available.

K-Net creates industry-standard as well as unique end-to-end solutions a key element of which is the 24x7 monitoring and support of customer network infrastructure through our Network Operations Centre.

With over 10 years experience, K-Net addresses the entire network life cycle including network design, implementation, monitoring and support - providing clients with a single, no excuse point of responsibility.

K-net is a one stop shop for all managed network and internet solutions for clients within the West African sub-region, using different products according to the needs, peculiarities, preference and location of clients. Different clients on the network could therefore have different solutions for their managed network and internet needs albeit from the same integrated solutions platform managed by a single service provider.

Managed networks have become the smart strategy for many companies as ever-changing, sophisticated technologies require increasing time and capital investment. Managed networks offer the assurance and simplicity of having one provider, one network, one point of contact and one expectation of quality.

Strategic Direction

The strategic direction is what our vision defines which we seek to achieve through our mission while being guided by our values. To be the leading Customer-Driven “triple-play” (Data, Voice and Video) Service Provider with a great use of Internet Protocol (IP) for all classes of services including television, national telephony network, transaction processing including point of sale (POS) and a complete national network hook-up under a concept called E-LIFE. To assure this vision we have implemented the first fully functioning MPLS (multi protocol label switched) Network in Ghana.
