- Jenny Internet Swaziland (Pty) Ltd holds a 2017 licence and offers wireless broadband across urban and rural eSwatini.
- The country’s telecom sector must overcome high international bandwidth costs and limited fixed-line reach; Jenny’s wireless model helps meet that.
About Jenny Internet Swaziland (Pty) Ltd
Jenny Internet Swaziland (Pty) Ltd got its licence from the Eswatini Communications Commission in 2017. It aims to bring high-speed Internet to all areas of Eswatini. It is based in Mbabane at Checkers Business Park. The firm uses wireless technologies to reach homes and businesses, offering uncapped and reliable connections.
Jenny Internet offers several wireless-based services in Eswatini. For homes, it provides uncapped, unthrottled “Infinity Home” or “Wireless Home PRO” services that use roof-mounted CPE units to connect to towers.
These services aim to deliver reliable, low-latency broadband even in rural places. For businesses, it offers “Dedicated Wireless” and broadband with symmetrical bandwidth, plus add-ons like static public IPs and SLA support.

Industry landscape and Jenny Internet Swaziland’s role
Eswatini’s telecom sector was long state-controlled. Since 2011, it opened to competition but still depends on neighbours for international fibre. That leads to high prices and low penetration, especially for fixed broadband. ADSL came in 2008 and mobile 3G in 2011, yet fixed-line rollout remains limited, so wireless plays a key role.
Jenny Internet’s wireless strategy helps overcome some challenges. It sidesteps the need for physical cables and uses point-to-tower CPEs to deliver fibre-like speeds. This is helpful since the country is land-locked and under pressure from bandwidth costs.
The firm recently expanded its coverage to remote regions beyond the urban Mbabane–Manzini corridor. It partnered with the government and the communications commission to link Tinkhundla centres, border posts, and clinics.
