Hayo continues African growth with Rwanda launch

Hayo, a global digital service provider, is back in the news again after launching voice, messaging and digital solutions in Rwanda.

It says local service providers, enterprises and government entities will benefit from access to a portfolio of services designed to support digital and economic growth, adding that customers can seamlessly roll out national mobile registry (NMR), IoT and eSIM platforms, as well as messaging services and international voice.

As part of the launch, Hayo says it will be onboarding local talent and working in collaboration with local service providers and businesses.

Hayo notes that the number of internet users in Rwanda has more than tripled over the last decade, with 34.2% of the population regularly using the internet in 2023 compared to only 8% in 2012, according to the WTO and World Bank.

Hayo says it aims to accelerate the country’s adoption of digital services with tailored industry-specific solutions across mobile, govtech, IoT, cloud and more. Hayo combines networking, technologies and digital solutions to have a positive impact on local businesses and communities; it has more than three decades of experience across Africa.

The news comes after the recent launch of Hayo’s eSIM platform, which offers white-label capabilities for operators to increase roaming revenue, enable the rapid delivery of services and enhance operational efficiency, while providing a seamless customer experience.

The company has also enhanced its National Mobile Registry (NMR) platform in Q1 2026, adding fraud and mobile theft protection to its existing list of capabilities designed to help governments regulate imports, protect citizens and increase public revenue. 

Hayo already operates in over 30 countries, serving more than 100 mobile operators and a global ecosystem of more than 500 partners. Its move into Rwanda builds on continued business expansion across Africa, including Senegal in Q1 2026, as well as Botswana, Liberia and Malawi in 2025.
