A Long Journey For A Weak Signal
Nestled between the Kwahu East District of the Eastern Region and the Asante Akim North Municipality of the Ashanti Region, Onyemso is a vibrant farming community with a population of over 10,000 residents — known for its maize and plantain farming and the beautiful Onyemso–Ogu Waterfalls.
Yet for many years, reliable internet and mobile connectivity remained out of reach. Residents often had to board a tricycle and travel together to a mountain near Agogo just to catch a weak 3G signal — whether for a phone call, online learning, business, mobile money, or simply reaching family.
Recognizing this challenge, RBKTekay, with technical support from Step Network, launched the Onyemso Community Network — bringing affordable, reliable, community-owned broadband directly to the people.

A Community-Driven TransformationA Community Wi-Fi Hotspot, Not Just Another ISP
Three strategically positioned Ruijie RG-RAP6262 outdoor wireless access points deliver stable, high-performance coverage across the community — no outdoor antenna or customer equipment required.
Three Outdoor Access Points
Ruijie RG-RAP6262 units installed at carefully selected vantage points to maximize coverage and network performance across the community.
No CPE Needed
Unlike traditional wireless ISPs, residents just connect with a phone, tablet or laptop — no outdoor antenna or customer premises equipment to install.
Enterprise-Grade Backbone
A secure firewall, managed switching, centralized authentication and a captive portal deliver the same proven architecture used at Bruben.
Voucher-Based Billing
Automated billing and customer management through the captive portal — log in, purchase a voucher, and get online in minutes.
Connect, Purchase, Get Online — In Minutes
Accessing the Onyemso Community Network is simple and intuitive. Users connect to the community Wi-Fi and are redirected to a secure captive portal where they can log in, purchase internet vouchers, manage their subscriptions, and get online within minutes.
Affordable internet packages generate the revenue that supports bandwidth costs, routine maintenance, infrastructure upgrades and future expansion — a community-centered model built for long-term sustainability.
