Habari Node

Headquartered in Arusha, Tanzania, Habari Node runs an internet service that also supplies a range of ICT services for companies. It provides home and business internet. Two companies set it up in 2010 to take over the internet arm of a society operating since 1994, and it became a public limited company in 2017. It says it has more than 80 employees and that its network covers the whole of Tanzania. Its website also uses the name Habari Wi-Fi.

Home internet across Tanzania

Habari's home plans are unlimited wireless internet packages, offered at several speed tiers from modest browsing and email up to plans for households with several devices and large numbers of simultaneous users. The firm says installation is quick and that the service includes a doorstep visit and round-the-clock customer support. Its site also describes a refundable deposit, which is required before service begins.

Corporate broadband and network services

For businesses, Habari offers corporate broadband, IP bandwidth for enterprise and small office packages, and MPLS circuits for national and international connections. The company also provides managed network services and network security. These are delivered either on site or remotely from its operations centre, and the firm says their main purpose is to take the burden of managing data networks off the customer.

Domain registration and hosting

The company is an accredited registrar for .tz domains and also offers registration for Africa and international domains, with self-service registration and online payment. It says it is ranked among the top five domain registrars in Tanzania and that customers who take a hosting package can receive a .tz domain with it. Hosting is offered alongside the registration service.

Systems set-up and custom software

Habari builds and sells off-the-shelf software for everyday use as well as custom software made to a customer's needs. Its engineers also set up servers running Unix and Linux, configure wide-area and local networks with VPNs and MPLS, install metropolitan fibre, operate public WiFi and integrate biometric systems. The firm lists multiple power backup systems and says it uses secured open-source platforms.

Infrastructure and industry roles

Habari's network uses fibre, WiMAX, LTE and microwave links. The company is licensed by Tanzania's communications regulator as an internet service provider and is a member of the national ISP association. It also hosts the Arusha Internet Exchange Point on behalf of other providers in the city. The website reports recent awards, including second place in a regional ISP category at the TEHAMA Awards 2026 and a company of the year recognition at ACOYA 2026, both claims made by the company.
