Pang highlighted the recent launch of the StarTimes Inside digital TV set in the Rwandan market, which incorporates the latest R&D technology and boasts significant improvements over previous products.

He further revealed plans to introduce smart TV sets with new built-in technology in the first half of the next year, aiming to provide the Rwandan people with an enhanced digital TV experience. Pang reiterated StarTimes’ commitment to accelerate the popularization of digital TV and contribute to the advancement of digital TV in Rwanda.

Rwanda holds a significant place in StarTimes’ African operations as it marked the beginning of the company’s venture on the continent. In 2007, after persistent efforts, StarTimes obtained the digital TV operation license from the Rwandan government, becoming the first operation license the company secured in Africa.

Since officially launching its operations in Rwanda the following year, StarTimes has rapidly gained popularity among users due to its affordable prices and high-quality services. The successful establishment of StarTimes’ business in Rwanda played a pivotal role in the company’s expansion across Africa.
