In a major step toward digital inclusion, the SMART Zambia Muchinga team, in partnership with the Shiwangandu Town Council, has successfully rolled out Starlink high-speed internet to nine critical locations across the district
The effort aims to close the connectivity gap for underserved and previously unconnected communities.
Among the newly connected sites are six healthcare facilities, a secondary school, the civic center, and the district health office—bringing essential digital access to institutions vital for community well-being and development.
This deployment represents a key milestone in improving digital infrastructure in Muchinga Province, with far-reaching impacts on healthcare delivery, educational advancement, and local economic empowerment.
Provincial principal head of ICT, Francis Sangale, noted that the team collaborated closely with Mr. Itayi Mudekwa, Systems Analyst at Shiwangandu Town Council, to ensure successful installation at all sites.
