This strategic move strengthens Ahmad’s portfolio of investments in Guyana’s growing telecommunications and infrastructure sectors, aiming to accelerate digital inclusion across the nation. This acquisition will enable Mr. Ahmad’s company, Guyana Global Tech-Comm Inc.(GGT) to leverage WANSAT’s products to enhance its service offerings, while WANSAT gains access to expanded market reach and resources. This investment and alignment mark a major strategic shift for Guyana Global Tech-Comm Inc. (GGT) and WANSAT, aimed at transforming the ISP into a full-service technology powerhouse.

“Like in most developing countries, the Government of Guyana and Guyanese businesses demand more than just connectivity,” said Ed Ahmad, CEO of GGT. “Data sovereignty, security, connectivity redundancy, and timely tech support are crucial for daily operations. We intend to invest deeply in WANSAT to facilitate Data Centers and other advanced infrastructure, expanding on the innovative work already being undertaken.”
