Infocom's roots go back to Uganda's Internet pioneers Infomail (starting in 1995) and Starcom who later merged their Internet activities and formed Infocom. With over 8 years of experience in providing Internet services in Uganda, the company has grown both in technical operation and client base, remaining the market leader in this competitive field.

Infocom today offers a full portfolio of Internet, e-mail and IT related services, from a single-user residential dial-up account to corporate leased line or wireless broadband Internet connectivity. From client VPN (virtual private network) design and implementation to office networking or campus LAN/WAN design and installation including various network maintenance schemes.

And as a true technology company, Infocom has pioneered many "firsts" and introduced new and state-of-the-art services and connectivity to the benefit of its clients:

• Metronet - Infocom's wireless broadband Internet and high-speed data connectivity;
• Full and client scalable bandwidth management system for broadband Internet access;
• Full ISDN and digital connectivity to all Ugandan telecom operators with 56kbps (V92 standard) analog and 64kbps ISDN support;
• WebMail - a web based interface which enables clients to access their e-mail accounts from anywhere in the world via Infocom's website;
• Upcountry dial-up POPs to enable clients to log on the Infocom's services at local rates. And this has now been extended with a countrywide single dial-in number and one standard local tariff from within UTL's fixed line network;
• Client account information online - web based access via Infocom's home page which enables clients to view and control all relevant account information like account status, invoices issued, statements, billing period etc. as well as real-time bandwidth utilization graphs for Metronet connectivity. It also allows clients to change their dial-up access passwords themselves for improved security.

Infocom has also undergone a repeated and very capital extensive restructuring of its operational backbone infrastructure and Internet access to stay ahead in the market with the most state-of-the-art technology available to our clients. The company today not only operates the highest Internet access capacity in the market connected via three satellite earth stations, but we offer connectivity and services through a fully managed high performance switched gigabyte Ethernet backbone and server farm to ensure that we can provide our clients with the fastest and technically most advanced link to the world.
