Limezone Wi-Fi

 

As part of our strong commitment to provide quality and efficient communication solutions to communities in Sierra Leone, Onlime has deployed Limezone, FREE Wi-Fi hotspots across Freetown. This is an ongoing program to expand our Internet coverage including to other cities and towns across Sierra Leone.

Limezone is a FREE Wi-Fi service delivered to communities by Onlime. Our aim is to connect the unconnected and underserved population through free Internet access at selected locations to improve connectivity, commerce, education, health, e-governance and also help build a strong social community with a rich culture of diversity and inclusion.

Onlime is an active player in supporting the national digitisation agenda and access to connectivity, thus, we are driving the transformation of Freetown into a smart city. Residents in Freetown can now have access to high-speed Internet in multiple locations across the city 24/7.

Since 2005, Onlime has been committed to providing quality Internet service to businesses and homes in Sierra Leone; Onlime had seen a transformation of the Internet landscape from the early days when the country was connected via VSAT to the outside world, to the new era of explosive digital transformation – Sierra Leone is connected to ACE, the Africa Coast to Europe submarine cable, and now delivering high-speed fibre broadband. We actively participated in its development and took the lead as a founder shareholder of SALCAB, the Sierra Leone Cable Company.

Onlime’s mission is to connect the unconnected and underserved population through the creation of FREE Wi-Fi hotspots to make the country more open and connected to the world.

Limezone Wi-Fi is an Onlime-led initiative with the aim of delivering:

  • Free Internet access to major communities, city centres, towns, universities and schools
  • The same opportunities that the currently connected <5% of Sierra Leone to as many others as possible
  • Connectivity to under-served communities to foster commerce, education, health, and e-governance

Onlime established the Limezone Wi-Fi initiative to focus on accelerating the national pace of Internet connectivity by developing, testing and launching small-scale IP networks. This service delivery model offers communities that have rather limited or no connectivity with free and reliable Internet access. Onlime has invested in these innovative technologies that enable a new data penetration and coverage approach.

We will not only provide the technology infrastructure, but also help to build a rich community of culture, diversity, and inclusion through our community social networking platform and promote business and trade by connecting business and their target audiences through our LimeClick advertising platform which allows businesses and individuals to deliver digital ads to a specific audiences at any given time.
