Safaricom has been steadily expanding its 5G network in Kenya, with coverage reaching more towns and neighborhoods in 2024 and 2025 as the telco tries to compete with the likes of Airtel and Starlink. A reliable home router like the Huawei H155 makes it easier for households and small businesses to take advantage of ultra-fast internet.

For many Kenyans, the ability to connect multiple devices, stream high-quality content, and run online businesses more efficiently is a strong draw. The heavy discount offered through Masoko also makes 5G access more affordable at a time when cost remains a major barrier to adoption.

By bundling competitive hardware with attractive pricing, Safaricom is positioning itself not just as a mobile data provider but as a leader in fixed wireless home broadband. The Huawei H155 5G router is a step toward making high-speed internet more accessible, helping bridge the digital divide and enabling more Kenyans to participate in the digital economy.
