    Who We Are

    Building Africa's Telecom Infrastructure

    Established in 2011, TEPA Engineering emerged during the surge in fiber optic expansion across Africa. We have since delivered network construction contracts for major telecom operators in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, DRC, Gabon and Nigeria, building the physical layer that enables digital transformation across the continent. Today, TEPA has a presence in Rwanda, Tanzania, Gabon and Nigeria.

    From underground fiber routes to wireless tower infrastructure, our end-to-end capabilities span design, construction, splicing, testing, activation, and provisioning.
