Tell us about your site
Where it is, how it gets internet, which router you have and who will use it.
Wi-Fi for cafés, campuses and communities
Wi-Fi that pays its way.
Run a hotspot that earns its keep. People buy a pass with mobile money or a card, you see every site from one dashboard, and the service keeps going even where the connection comes and goes.

Why we built this
Getting online should not depend on where you live.
Across Africa, good Wi-Fi often stops at the edge of a city. Power Connect helps the people who already run a space, a café owner, a school, a clinic or a camp, share their connection fairly: guests sign in, pay a little, and the router does the rest. Each site is set up around the people who use it.
For the people on the other end
A connection you can count on, from someone you know.
Your customers connect to a network with your name on it. They pay the way they already pay for things, and you can see who is online, what is selling and when a router needs attention.
Explore the platformHow it works
Three steps from a router to paying guests.
Start with one site and grow from there.
We check it with you
Every new site is reviewed before it goes live, so nothing reaches your guests until it works.
Open the doors
Guests sign in and buy a pass. You watch sales and connections from your dashboard.
Built for varied operating environments
One network platform. Different needs at every site.
Examples of how a managed connectivity deployment could be tailored to B2B environments. Specific features, integrations, safety requirements, and compliance obligations must be validated for each customer.
Hospitals & healthcare
Plan separate access for staff, patients, and visitors; support guest Wi-Fi onboarding while keeping clinical systems under the organization’s own security and network policies.
Mines & remote operations
Coordinate connectivity across remote camps, offices, and work areas with locally managed access and an upstream link selected for the site’s conditions.
Schools & campuses
Organize network access for learners, educators, staff, and visitors, with site-specific schedules and access rules configured to school policy.
Hotels & hospitality
Offer guest connectivity alongside staff and operations access, and consider paid or complimentary guest access based on the property’s service model.
Servers & facilities
Provide managed connectivity for server rooms, edge sites, and facilities teams. Production workloads still require appropriate redundancy, monitoring, and security controls.
Operators & end users
Support administrators managing deployments and users connecting as employees, contractors, residents, guests, or customers.
These are illustrative use cases—not claims of healthcare certification, mine-safety certification, school compliance, high-availability SLA, or a ready-made integration with every listed system.
The platform behind the hotspot
Deploy networks and manage the service around them.
Power Connect combines its Wi-Fi operations service with account, partner-site, pass, and payment workflows. Deployment design and integration scope depend on the customer’s equipment and operating requirements.
Deployment & operations
Partner site records, review states, provisioning results, router configuration fields, and audit events support managed deployment workflows. Production router control must be confirmed and integrated for the target equipment.
MikroTik & network equipment
A small site agent on the partner’s network connects out to Power Connect and talks to a MikroTik router (RouterOS 7) on the local network. No router ports are opened to the internet, and the router password never leaves the site. The agent runs a fixed list of checks and actions, such as health checks, passwordless sign-in and the walled-garden setup. Compatibility is confirmed for each site.
Starlink or another backhaul
Starlink, fibre, mobile, or another ISP may provide upstream connectivity where available. The upstream service must be licensed where the site operates and allow resale (in Zimbabwe, a POTRAZ-licensed provider or authorised dealer), and the equipment type-approved. Power Connect has no Starlink API or account integration; Starlink is an optional backhaul, not a Power Connect product.
Partner-scoped management
Partner accounts can manage their own submitted sites, while administrative review remains separate.
Private setup details
Router and Wi-Fi credentials are kept apart from the site’s ordinary listing details and access is checked by account role.
Review before activation
New partner sites start pending, so setup can be checked before an administrator marks provisioning successful.
Hardware, internet service, active router provisioning, and local support are provided or enabled by
the
participating host. Compatibility and setup should be confirmed for each site.
AI integration & support systems
Useful assistance across domains, with people still in control.
Power Connect brings account, network-access, partner, and payment workflows together. AI and support integrations should fit the organization’s domain, provider choices, and operating policies—not replace them.
AI assistance for routine questions
The in-app AI chat and first-line ticket assistant use configured Gemini access online. They can help with general questions, while account changes, payments, and network actions remain in their established workflows.
Provider-agnostic capability planning
Keep the service model centered on the organization rather than a specific model vendor. Gemini is the current in-app AI provider; connecting other AI or support providers requires a scoped integration and deployment-specific validation.
Support with clear ownership
Users can consult the FAQs or open an in-app support ticket, where the assistant can respond first and an administrator can take over. The participating host handles local access, equipment, and backhaul support.
Current AI status: Gemini chat and ticket assistance require an internet connection
and
configured access. The Android plugin can inspect device capabilities, but no verified on-device
text-generation model is enabled, so offline AI is not currently available. AI is informational and
is not a
substitute for human support or safety-critical decisions.
International phone collection: registration provides country calling-code choices
with
local SVG flags. New registrations preserve the full international number in E.164 form alongside
the
existing digits-only lookup value; service availability is confirmed for each deployment.
Subscriptions
Choose a pass that fits your plans.
Participating hotspots can offer access for an hour, a day, a week, or a month. Check the location for current availability and price before you connect.
Quick connection
Useful for a short stop or getting a quick task done.
Day pass
Stay connected for the day at a participating hotspot.
Weekly access
A longer option for a week of regular visits.
Monthly access
For ongoing use where a monthly pass is available.
Pass availability and prices are set for each hotspot and shown before purchase. Durations reflect configured pass types; not every location offers every pass.
A clear route to getting connected
From account setup to an active connection.
Use the access flow at a participating Power Connect hotspot. Each location controls which plans and checkout options are available.
Connect at a participating location
Availability is site-specific. Ask the host or operator which network and access options are currently active.
Create an account or sign in
Register for a new account, or return to your existing account to continue the access flow.
Choose an available plan
Check the price, duration, and payment methods presented for that hotspot before confirming any purchase.
Use your access details
Follow the hotspot sign-in instructions. Account credit top-ups and active internet plans are separate steps.
Power Connect manages network access workflows; this page does not sell Starlink hardware or activate a Starlink subscription. Network equipment, installation, service coverage, and support are confirmed with the participating operator.
Access & payments
Configure access that fits the service model.
Available plans, prices, and checkout options depend on the deployment and provider configuration.
Users & accounts
Sign-in and account workflows support the people who need to use a configured network.
Passes & vouchers
Voucher and time-based access options support paid or managed hotspot use where enabled.
Payment providers
Checkout options include configured providers such as Paynow, PesaPay / PesaPal, and card checkout where enabled.
For organizations & network partners
A clear path from site submission to an approved deployment.
Partner accounts manage their own site submissions. Sites are not advertised as active until review and provisioning are completed.
Describe your site
Provide the location and network details needed to set up a candidate hotspot.
Admin checks setup
New sites enter a pending state for review and provisioning checks.
Verify connectivity
Required Wi-Fi and router configuration is checked before approval.
Enable the site
An administrator records the provisioning result; a successful site can then be marked active.
Partner sites are associated with their owner account. Private Wi-Fi/router credentials are stored
separately from public site details, and partners can manage only their own sites. The app does not
publish
a partner revenue-share or payout schedule; commercial terms must be agreed separately.
Operational strengths
One service layer for sites, people, and access.
Power Connect brings related workflows into one product, with deployment and availability determined by the site configuration.
Site-scoped partner management
Partners manage their own site submissions while administrative approval and provisioning state stay explicit.
Users, vouchers, and paid access
Bring account sign-in, time-based passes, vouchers, and checkout into the access experience where enabled.
Choice of configured payments
Provider options include Paynow, PesaPay / PesaPal, and card checkout, subject to configuration and availability.
Coverage & deployments
Built around the site, the users, and the available backhaul.
Countries below have at least one approved, successfully provisioned partner site. Availability is based on live deployment records—not predicted coverage—and individual site access still depends on the network and plan.

Help before you start
Frequently asked questions.
Understand the account, access, and deployment steps before you continue.
What can I purchase through Power Connect?
At participating hotspots, users may be able to purchase configured network-access plans. Power Connect does not sell Starlink kits or provide Starlink subscriptions through this page.
How do I know which plan or price applies?
Plans and prices depend on the hotspot. Review the options shown in that location’s access flow before paying; the example durations on this page are not a promise that every site offers each plan.
Is adding account credit the same as buying internet access?
No. A balance top-up adds credit to an account. You may still need to sign in at the hotspot and purchase or activate an available access plan.
What payment methods can I use?
Available checkout methods depend on location and configuration. The payment choices displayed during checkout are the current options; providers or banks not shown there should not be assumed to be supported.
Can I deploy Power Connect at my organization?
Organizations and network partners can start by creating an account. Site approval, equipment compatibility, provisioning, commercial terms, and regional availability need to be confirmed for each deployment.
How do I return to my account?
Sign in to Power Connect with your existing account. If you are new, use the account registration page.
