CK Joshua, a Kenyan business tycoon is the founder and owner of JTL “Faiba”. The company was launched in 2016 with the aim of delivering reliable communication and digital services. Sticking to its target, the company has made major milestones since its inception including the installation of the undersea fiber optic cables.

In this deal of undersea fiber installation, the company had to pay Ksh 5 billion to acquire the license to proceed with the installation. It went on to become the first company in Kenya to launch a 700 MHZ mobile network. On top of that, they went on to introduce VOLTE which was also a none existing service in Kenya.

While other companies offered 100mbs as network capacity JTL took the notch higher hitting a 1000 Mbps network capacity for both homes and businesses.
