AFRINET SA: Role in the congolese ICT Sector
AFRINET SA has emerged as a significant player in the ICT landscape of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), offering a suite of enterprise-grade digital services. Based in Kinshasa and active across several provinces, the company delivers high-speed internet, VoIP, virtual private servers, and web hosting solutions.

AFRINET SA: Adapts to innovation amidst infrastructure gaps
AFRINET SA operates in an industry marked by rapid innovation and growing demand. Recent developments in data centre hosting and IP transit have made it possible for providers to offer more reliable digital services. However, AFRINET faces competition from both local and foreign entities. Additionally, the lack of harmonised telecom regulation and inadequate national infrastructure frequently slows progress.
To differentiate, AFRINET has integrated VoIP systems and developed scalable cloud hosting options for SMEs and institutional clients. This reflects broader ICT market trends, where local providers must innovate to stay relevant.
While AFRINET SA’s digital footprint continues to grow, sustaining momentum will require ongoing investment in infrastructure and closer alignment with national ICT policies. Nonetheless, its current operations represent a meaningful contribution to digital access in one of Central Africa’s most underserved internet markets.
