MULTICHOICE KENYA PARTNERS WITH AZURI TECHNOLOGIES TO BRING DSTV CONTENT TO OFF-GRID HOUSEHOLDS

MultiChoice Kenya and Azuri Technologies, the first company to launch a complete pay-as-you-go solar TV package in Kenya, have announced a partnership to bring DStv content to off-grid households in Kenya.

The partnership bundles Azuri’s TV400 product, the 32” solar powered TV and household energy solution, with the DStv HD decoder to offer customers access to leading world class entertainment, local and international news, documentaries and educational content.

 Simon Bransfield-Garth, CEO of Azuri said, “By expanding the choice of content available to even off-grid customers, we are taking another step in shrinking the gap between households with and without the grid.”

With an 80W solar panel and a 160Wh LFP battery with an expected life of over 10 years before servicing, Azuri’s TV400 system provides peace of mind that householders are able to watch their favourite programs whenever they want. The TV400 system also comes with two high power tube lights, two spotlights, a rechargeable radio, rechargeable torch and USB phone charging with extra capacity to support smartphones, and the DStv HD decoder.

“We want to deliver our local content, telenovelas, world class sport and blockbusters straight into the hands and homes of our customers. This partnership with Azuri is one way that we are able to ensure our content is available to the widest possible audience throughout the country.”  SaidNancy Matimu, Managing Director MultiChoice Kenya.

Azuri’s off-grid customers will have access to this content available on a variety of package, suitable designed for wholesome family viewing.
