OVERVIEW
The Ethiopian government required a reliable 8-inch 3G tablet solution to support public service delivery and citizen education. BESTAR TEK team provides customised tablets with the client’s software pre-installed, enabling government staff to record, track, and manage community information efficiently. Selected devices were distributed to local citizens, giving them access to healthcare education, medical knowledge, and online resources through built-in 3G connectivity.
