Access Kenya has unveiled a determined Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) Solution targeted at builders, real estate agents and investors in the Kenyan construction industry.
Dubbed ‘Intelligent Buildings’, the technology for use in commercial, industrial, institutional and domestic buildings, including energy management systems and building controls, will support Building Management Systems (BMS).

Access Kenya said the FTTP concept will enable builders to construct buildings that will be ‘fibre optic ready’ and hence be able to layer on other services using the utility, in the same way as water and electricity. "FTTP will support the BMS which is central to 'Intelligent Buildings' concepts and its purpose is to control, monitor and optimize building services including lighting, heating, security, CCTV and alarm systems, access control, audio-visual and entertainment systems."
The company’s chief executive Jonathan Somen told stakeholders at a recent construction industry forum that the firm is on the forefront of deploying technology aided development such as BMS, adding to its already Internet service provision.
He added that Access Kenya was committed to using technology to improve management of resources in the country.
“The FTTP has enormous potential and it will add considerable value to the local building and construction industry while further enhancing technology integration to complement Kenya’s effort in achieving vision 2030,” Group CEO Jonathan Somen said during the launch.
Mr. Somen said; “We believe that the potential of FTTP in the Building and Construction industry is enormous, drawing from the fast - changing needs and the subsequent developments in our respective living and working environments.“
He added that the firm’s fibre network is another opportunity for technological development.
“We have over 300 kilometres of fibre in Nairobi and Mombasa complemented by a robust wireless network spread across major towns in Kenya. Our entire network is I.P based and this means that it can accommodate a wide range of technology applications,” he said.
The system, according to AccessKenya Group retail manager Diana Mulili, will be built in partnership with TKM Maestro, a turnkey solutions provider for telecommunication and infrastructure projects.
“TKM Maestro has demonstrated the zeal in deploying this solution in Kenya and has good experience,” said Mulili.
TKM Maestro has been keen on providing integrated solutions for planning, design and construction in Kenya for the past 10 years.
