our story

Building Tomorrow, Today: The Ultra One Story Unfolds.

Ultra One was born from the vision of two pioneering forces—ZoodLabs and Metro Cable—coming together to redefine connectivity in Sierra Leone. Each brought a distinct strength: ZoodLabs led innovation in smart broadband infrastructure, Metro Cable delivered the country’s most robust fiber-optic backbone.

The merger of these entities formed more than an impactful Brand —it created a national infrastructure powerhouse committed to democratizing access to high-speed connectivity.
Recognizing the global shift toward open, software-driven networks, Ultra One has invested heavily in 5G Open-RAN, making us the first in Sierra Leone to deploy an open-access 5G infrastructure that support both fixed and data mobility experience at scale.

This allows us to offer flexible, vendor-neutral connectivity solutions to mobile operators, ISPs, and enterprises—lowering costs, boosting interoperability, and accelerating deployment across the country.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
