ARED Group Revolutionizes Africa's Digital Landscape with AI-Powered Edge Technology

IKOYI, Nigeria - Nov. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- In a transformative leap for digital access in emerging markets, ARED Group today highlights its evolution from solar-powered kiosks to a leader in AI-powered distributed infrastructure-as-a-service. Founded in 2020 by Henri Nyakarundi, ARED is bridging the digital divide across Africa with innovative hyper-converged edge gateways that combine storage, compute, networking, and virtualization for enhanced performance and scalability.

Originally providing solar kiosks for phone charging, WiFi, and digital content in underserved communities, ARED has expanded its impact through its flagship platform, ShirikiHub. This suite empowers sectors like retail, hospitality, education, healthcare, and transport with efficient tools, including QR code access, offline digital content (such as menus and videos), and targeted marketing via captive portals and mobile apps.

"Our mission is to bring cloud applications closer to users, reducing latency, cutting costs, and expanding access," said Henri Nyakarundi, Founder and CEO of ARED Group. "By enabling small businesses to deploy native cloud apps via APIs, we're fostering sustainable revenue streams and partnering with telecoms like MTN Rwanda and ISPs to drive regulatory-compliant digital transformation."

Operating in Rwanda, Uganda, Nigeria, and beyond, ARED's solutions address persistent infrastructure gaps, promoting innovation and impact. Recent collaborations, including with MTN Rwanda, demonstrate the game-changing potential of edge technology in real-time applications like smart WiFi hubs and carbon credit tracking for small businesses.
