The skyline we have built across Botswana
A Quiet Conviction
Founded 1979.
From two way radios to turnkey systems.
Now woman led, board directed.
We don't sell radios. We engineer resilience into networks that protect lives, assets and national infrastructure.
What began in 1979 as a two way radio supplier has grown, under three generations of stewardship, into a premier turnkey integrator. Previously led by the late Gabriel Lesego, the company today is led by Ms. Abaleng Lesego, alongside Taolo Dube and Phillip Tsamodimo.
As authorised distributors for Motorola, MESIT, Barrett, SpaceCom, Icom, Ceragon Networks and Envitech Ltd., we deliver world class solutions to government agencies, defense forces, mining houses and enterprise. Every connection is built to power a stronger Botswana.
What We Do
Six disciplines.
One operating standard.
02
Microwave & RF Backhaul
Ceragon based point to point and point to multipoint links engineered for harsh terrain. Broadband backbone where fibre cannot reach.
03
Satellite & Remote Comms
VSAT, satellite phones and hybrid connectivity for the most remote operations across the Kalahari and beyond.
04
Telemetry, SCADA & IoT
IoT based predictive maintenance, environmental and air quality monitoring, sensor networks integrated with control rooms.
05
Towers & Infrastructure
Tower design, lattice erection, fibre splicing and certification, structured cabling. Built to outlast the contract.
06
Energy, Tracking & Surveillance
Solar hybrid power, AVL fleet and asset tracking, AI driven surveillance, and encrypted communications for defense and law enforcement.
The Equipment We Stand Behind
World class hardware. Local engineering.
Authorised partner to Motorola, Ceragon, MESIT, Barrett, SpaceCom, Icom and Envitech. The radios on the belt, the dishes on the tower, the consoles in the control room. Specified, supplied, installed and supported by us.

How We Work
End to end, with our hands on the equipment.
Five stages, refined across forty six years of contracts. We begin with listening, not with a quotation.
- 01 /
Consult
We sit down with operators, engineers and decision makers to understand the problem before we suggest a solution. No assumptions, no off-the-shelf answers. Independent advice, grounded in four decades of field judgement.
- 02 /
Plan
Site walks, RF planning, link budgets, coverage modelling and stakeholder alignment. Every assumption documented, every risk surfaced, before procurement begins.
- 03 /
Supply & install
Procurement through OEM partnerships with Motorola, Ceragon, MESIT, Barrett, SpaceCom, Icom and Envitech. Installation by our own technicians, dispatched from our Gaborone West facility.
- 04 /
Commission & train
Acceptance testing against the design. Dispatcher and field operator training. Full documentation handed over to your team, in language they will use again.
- 05 /
Maintain, for years
24/7 technical support, scheduled maintenance and spares from our on site workshop, warehouse and nine vehicle fleet. Most of our clients have been with us for decades.
Vision for the Future
A connected, sustainable, technologically advanced Africa.
We are not just reacting to change. We are actively shaping it. Our forward looking approach, combined with deep understanding of the African market, positions us to drive the innovation that will define the future of connectivity.
01
Emerging Technologies
5G, IoT, AI and advanced data analytics, integrated into the networks that run mines, ministries and utilities.
02
Digital Connectivity
Bridging the digital divide. Reliable comms infrastructure into the most remote corners of the region.
03
Sustainable Engineering
Green and energy efficient solutions. Solar hybrid power, low impact installations, future proofed sites.
04
Human Centred Design
Technology that serves the operator, the dispatcher and the field crew. Built around how the work actually happens.
