About

LEC Communications (LECC) is business subsidiary of Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC) [a power utility company providing electricity across the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho], and wholesale telecommunications services provider registered and regulated Lesotho Communications Authority (under Lesotho Communications Act 2012). The company was established in 2015 due to identified need for secure long-haul fibre optic cable for connecting mainly district to district (with a good coverage within Maseru Metropolitan area). The company have been leveraging from LEC’s 978km fibre optic network (mainly OPGW) and have setup and four points of presence across the country. We also have been working on network expansion hence acquired dual diverse connections between Maseru and Teraco (Isando, Johannesburg, South Africa) with a point-o-presence and protected IP Transit, as an extension of our network for international interconnectivity enabling us to extend our services globally.
We completed our first fibre-to-the-home network at Ha Foso (in Berea district) in June 2023 covering 2.5 square kilometres (density = 368 houses/km²). We are working on a plan to cover approximately 4500 businesses across the country (major towns) with fibre optic distribution network (both passive optical and ethernet technologies), and 18 additional points-of-presence.
