Questions ISPs ask

What is Connecta?

Connecta is billing and management software for internet service providers in Kenya. It runs Wi-Fi hotspots and PPPoE home internet on MikroTik routers, takes M-Pesa payments, and switches customers on and off automatically.

How much does Connecta cost?

You choose: pay as you grow from KES 300 a month (KES 15 per PPPoE user, less as you grow, plus 2 % of hotspot sales), a fixed plan from KES 499 a month, or a hybrid from KES 500 a month. There is no setup fee.

Which routers does it support?

MikroTik routers on RouterOS version 6 or 7, from small boards such as the RB750 and hAP to CCR routers.

How do I connect my router?

After your sign-up is approved you receive one line by e-mail. Paste it into your MikroTik terminal (Winbox or SSH). It sets up the VPN, RADIUS, hotspot and PPPoE, and the router shows online within a minute.

Do customers pay with M-Pesa?

Yes. Customers pay with an M-Pesa prompt on their phone, or with Paybill or Till. Connecta confirms the payment and connects them automatically. You can use your own Paybill or Till.

Can customers pay by bank or card?

Yes. With card and bank switched on, the Wi-Fi page offers Visa or Mastercard and bank by Pesalink: the customer approves it in their bank app and is connected as soon as it is confirmed. Home customers can also pay into your bank account and report the deposit; you confirm it on your bank statement before their balance goes up.

Can I set speed limits?

Yes. Every package has its own speed, for example 2, 4 or 5 Mbps, and you can set a different limit for a single customer or device.

Is my data safe?

Sign-in uses two-factor authentication, secrets are encrypted, every router connects over its own VPN, and backups are encrypted and copied off-site every day.
