Reach Ethiopia on the channels people read

Businesses in Ethiopia rarely rely on a single channel any more. Cyberscape lets you send SMS, WhatsApp, RCS and email from one account, so each message goes out the way your customer is most likely to read it.

Messages can be written in Amharic and English, and every send is tracked with delivery reports, so you can see what reached people and what they did next.

Platforms for mobile operators in Ethiopia

Many subscribers in Ethiopia rely on feature phones and mobile money. We deploy the platforms behind that experience for operators and MVNOs: USSD self-care, messaging cores, and the security that keeps them trustworthy.

Each platform is integrated with billing, provisioning and your network, and supported after launch.
