By integrating solar power systems and internet connectivity into a single coordinated deployment, we work with mini-grid providers to deliver internet access alongside their electricity deployment, reduce total project cost, and dramatically shorten the timeline from planning to impact. A community that receives IRECI gets lights, device charging, and internet access in the same deployment cycle.
Centralised solar mini-grid or distributed solar home systems, depending on community size
Battery storage for 24-hour power availability
Power distribution to homes, facilities, and public infrastructure
Smart metering and pay-as-you-go (PAYG) billing options
Starlink LEO satellite or licensed wireless backhaul as the internet source
Community Wi-Fi mesh network covering key community zones
Optional dedicated connections for schools, health centres, and government facilities
Bandwidth management to ensure equitable access
Shared poles, trenching, and mounting infrastructure for both power and connectivity
Single site survey and planning process covering both systems
Coordinated installation teams reducing community disruption and project duration
Local operator training for both power and network systems
Revenue collection tools for energy and connectivity services
Ongoing remote monitoring and technical support
When power and connectivity are delivered separately, projects face duplicated costs, longer timelines, and repeated disruption. RECI’s integrated approach changes that:
A clear step by step approach from initial planning to final handover, ensuring every stage is carefully managed for quality, efficiency, and reliable results.
