CSquared is a technology company focused on developing and investing in open-access broadband infrastructure across Africa. It deploys wholesale, shared fiber optic networks and related digital solutions, aiming to provide high-speed connectivity to underserved regions. This approach reduces the burden of infrastructure management for service providers, fostering a more connected digital ecosystem.

The company originated in 2013 from Google's Project Link, an initiative born from the insight that widespread internet access was critical for Africa's economic and social development. Google recognized the need for fundamental infrastructure to bridge the digital divide, leading to the formation of a commercially driven entity dedicated to this mission.

CSquared serves mobile network operators and internet service providers by offering affordable and accessible wholesale infrastructure. Its long-term vision is to enable a digitally connected Africa, ensuring abundant, high-quality broadband is available to communities, thereby transforming economies and empowering individuals across the continent.
