Deployed hotspot internet infrastructure using Mikrotik + Starlink, serving hostels and apartments across two Ghanaian regions.
The core frame: what problem exists, how the architecture is arranged, and where the value surfaces.
Problem
Student hostels and residential apartments in secondary Ghanaian cities have unreliable or nonexistent internet infrastructure. ISP coverage is sparse and consumer satellite solutions lack the access-management layer needed for shared-tenancy deployments.
Architecture
Mikrotik RouterOS for per-user hotspot management, Starlink for backhaul, centralised dashboard for site monitoring and voucher management. Each deployment is isolated at the routing layer but managed from a single control plane.
Impact
Generating USD 3,000–5,000 monthly across active deployments. Serving 5+ hostels and apartment complexes across two regions with reliable internet access for hundreds of residents.
