of ICT with Akasanoma PCTV

Accra, Dec 22, GNA -

The name “Akasanoma” has bounced back, this time placing Ghana’s name on the world map of ICT development, as a triple play all-in-one PC Internet and TV system (PCTV), designed by Alltel Limited, a member of Kludjeson International Limited (KIL) group of companies.

In addition, the company on Thursday launched an android/windows tablet under the brand name KPad, to provide the world with an excellent Ghanaian world class alternative to ipad.

KPad makes the customer enjoy videos with high definition, precise touch screen technology, camera with high mega pixels, downloadable softwares, e-learning materials, advanced picture quality and the latest blue tooth application that allows one to enjoy wireless printing.

Ranging between 22-inch and as big as 65-inch screens, the new Akasanoma product, a creation by Ghanaian entrepreneurs, which has now gained global acceptance, is unique and one in the world of ICT technology serving as both a personal computer and a television system in many homes in Ghana and in Africa. The product will hit the American and European market next year.

Akasanoma used to be a household name in Ghana in the past for radio and TV set.

Mr Prince Kofi Kldjeson, Executive Chairman of the Alltel Limited, said in partnership with ZTE Corporation of China and Hughes Corporation of USA, the company had signed a contract to provide Alltel infrastructure and satellite solutions in Ghana and Africa.

“Our goal is to achieve 100 percent customer satisfaction therefore our focus will be on product quality. We will be the first company to enter this specific industry so to take advantage of our first mover advantage, we will do substantial promotion to gain maximum market share before any competitor arise,” he said

Alltel, Mr Kludjeson said was also undertaking a major project in the education, health, religion among other sectors, to offer staff presentations on the products as well as training in world standardized International Computer Drivers License (ICDL), and an e-learning ICT training course.

In the health sector for instance, Mr Kludjeson said every doctor and nurse would receive a tablet each in order to enhance skill development in areas as tele-medicine.

He said the company was also setting up virtual ICT training centres in every district capital to train one million Ghanaians as well as putting arrangements to establish assembling plants in Ghana to start manufacturing Alltel patented products.

Ghanaian workers in the corporate, professional, educational and associate bodies, Mr Kludjeson said were Alltel’s main target groups, adding “Our target is to distribute a minimum of 204,000 units of the Akasanoma triple play all–in-one PC internet and TV system and KPad tablets to workers students, corporate and educational institutions in all 170 districts in Ghana which represents about one percent of the Ghanaian population with three years.

The first year of Alltel will be product introduction, product education, heavy promotion and market penetration; the second and third years will be periods of rapid market growth.
