THE 104 residents of the remote hinterland sub-village of Annisbisi (Red Hill), located within Canal Bank, Region One (Barima-Waini), now have access to free, high-speed internet around the clock, marking the first time the area has been digitally connected.

This was achieved through a pole-mounted infrastructural solution developed by the National Data Management Authority (NDMA), designed to address the community’s geographical challenges. The custom-designed system offers a practical way to deliver connectivity in locations where traditional methods are limited.

Following the successful rollout in Annisbisi, this model will be extended to other hinterland, riverain, and remote (HRR) communities to help reduce physical barriers to internet access.
This development supports the government’s ongoing efforts to improve digital inclusion.
Through the NDMA, the Office of the Prime Minister continues working on infrastructural solutions that expand connectivity across Guyana. (OPM)
