It was possible to connect to the high-speed Internet in the area of ​​Mount Kilimanjaro, and now climbers can broadcast the route of climbing the highest mountain in Africa live to their audience.

Tanzanian authorities have installed high-speed internet service equipment on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, allowing climbers to send tweets, Instagram pictures and WhatsApp messages on their way up, and to film the surrounding nature live for their audience.

Mount Kilimanjaro, with a height of 5895 meters (19 thousand feet), is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest mountain independent of sea level. This area has been a popular destination for adventurers and now has high-speed internet access. Such a move could possibly attract more visitors to the area.

According to TechSpot, Tanzania's state-owned telecommunications company has launched a broadband network at an altitude of 3,657 meters (12,000 feet). You can expect a lot of people on Facebook or Instagram live filming the Kilimanjaro climb. Of course, another application of high-speed Internet in this area is security issues. For example, people who may get lost on their way will be able to find the right path by connecting to the Internet. Tanzania's Minister of Communications says:

Previously, visitors had to navigate the Kilimanjaro region without internet, which was a bit dangerous. Today, it is possible to connect to high-speed Internet in Kilimanjaro, and tourists can communicate with the whole world from the top of this mountain.

Kilimanjaro hosts thousands of visitors every year who can receive a signal up to a certain height. Tanzania's communications minister has asked the country's telecommunications company to expand internet operations to other off-grid tourist sites and national parks.

Kilimanjaro National Park, where the mountain is located, is a UNESCO protected site and a major source of income for Tanzania's tourism industry, which generated an estimated $1.4 billion last year alone.
