Homewave Solutions successfully conducted a repeater service maintenance project at Mt. Kenya Conservancy, ensuring seamless communication across the vast mountainous terrain. The repeater station is a vital link that enables real-time coordination among rangers, patrol teams, and emergency units operating within the conservancy.

Before our intervention, the system suffered from signal dropouts, degraded transmission quality, and unstable power supply, mainly due to environmental wear and lack of regular servicing. Our engineering team carried out a complete diagnostic assessment covering antenna alignment, cabling integrity, grounding, and RF performance.

Before the upgrade:

• Limited signal coverage and inconsistent transmission.
• Antenna mount corrosion and moisture ingress in the feeder line.
• Power fluctuations from aged solar and battery systems.

After maintenance:

• Full signal restoration with clear voice transmission across extended zones.
• Replacement of damaged connectors and optimized antenna alignment.
• Installation of a new surge protector, fresh cabling, and improved grounding.
• Power system recalibration for uninterrupted repeater uptime.

By combining professional calibration with preventive maintenance, the Mt. Kenya repeater now delivers reliable communication coverage supporting daily patrols, emergency coordination, and conservation operations. The results were immediately visible — rangers reported improved clarity and extended range within 24 hours of restoration.

Homewave remains dedicated to providing end-to-end radio communication support, from repeater deployment to long-term servicing. This project highlights our commitment to maintaining Kenya’s conservation infrastructure for safety, efficiency, and mission success.
