Case studies

Projects where we connected, secured and supported client sites, many of them far from any fixed network.

Since 2017 our engineers have delivered connectivity, security and infrastructure for the UN, international NGOs, mining, banking and telecom clients across Liberia, Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. Some of those projects are described below.

Liberian Agricultural Company (LAC)

Sinkor, Monrovia · Liberia

Challenge

The LAC office in Monrovia needed a Starlink link behind a firewall, with the dish on a ground mast rather than on the roof.

What we did

  • Set a galvanised mast in a block foundation and mounted a Starlink Performance (Gen3) dish
  • Installed a FortiGate 70G firewall and commissioned the link (August 2026)

Outcome

The link was online at commissioning and passed its hardware self-test.

Challenge

WFP field offices needed a data link at remote sites where terrestrial internet was either missing or unreliable, so that logistics and reporting systems stayed online.

What we did

  • Installed, serviced, repaired and later de-installed VSAT links at five documented WFP sites in four counties
  • Installed and aligned terminals, configured routing and site networks

Outcome

The sites had working satellite links for humanitarian work, well beyond the reach of fixed lines.
