2.2 billion people are still offline.
Coverage is no longer the problem: satellites now reach nearly every place people live. What stands between a village and the internet is affordability and the last hundred meters. WELCOME closes that gap with prepaid packs priced like airtime, sold in local currency, on the phone people already own.
ITU Facts and Figures · 2025
Internet arrives. No buildout required.
ELCOME deploys and operates
Power and a clear view of the sky is all a site needs. We bring the dish, the Wi-Fi, and the service; the community brings the people.
Prepaid packs for every budget
Residents buy what they can use, from a small pack to a monthly plan, in local currency. No contracts, no bills, no credit checks.
Fair sharing of one dish
Per-device metering means a whole village shares a link and everyone's purchase stays usable, even at peak.
Local partners welcome
Shops, co-ops, and venues buy access codes in bulk to distribute or resell. Distribution stays local; the network stays ours to run.
Community hotspot concept
Buy a day, a week, or a month.
Packs start small and stay honest: buy once, use until gone. Residents pay in local currency with major cards, mobile wallets, UPI, or GCash, or redeem a prepaid code from a local shop.
Data packs
Buy once, use until gone. Sachet-sized to start, family-sized when payday comes.
Monthly plans
A daily allowance that renews every day. Predictable for households, and it renews itself.
Speed upgrade Popular
A per-day add-on: unlimited browsing at reduced speed on top of any pack.
Answers before you ask.
What does a community need to host a WELCOME site?
Power and a clear view of the sky. ELCOME brings the dish, the Wi-Fi, and the service, and operates the site remotely. The community brings the people.
What do residents pay?
Packs are priced like airtime and sold in local currency, from a small pack to a monthly plan. There are no contracts, no bills, and no credit checks.
How do residents pay without a bank card?
Prepaid access codes are sold locally and bought with cash. Where cards are used, major cards, mobile wallets, UPI, and GCash all work.
Can one satellite link serve a whole village?
Every device is metered at the site gateway, with quotas and speed tiers held per session, so a shared link stays usable at peak and the pack a resident bought keeps working.
Can local shops resell WELCOME access?
Yes. Shops, co-ops, and venues buy access codes in bulk to distribute or resell. Distribution stays local, and ELCOME still owns and operates the network.
