Rwandan technology firm UMVA has expanded its digital portfolio with the launch of two new media platforms: UMVA TV, a live streaming service, and UMVA Mag, an online publication covering international news, business, technology, sports, and entertainment.
Through UMVA TV, viewers can stream more than 30,000 television channels across smartphones, tablets, desktops, and smart TVs without requiring specialized hardware or complex installations.
“It means you can watch your favorite channels wherever you are, provided you have an internet connection,” the company said in a statement.
Founded in 2018, UMVA has grown into a multi-service technology provider spanning web infrastructure, artificial intelligence, digital payments, travel connectivity, and enterprise communications.
Its core infrastructure offerings include domain registration, web hosting, Cloud VPS, and Virtual Dedicated Servers, alongside software licenses for cPanel, Plesk, LiteSpeed, and CloudLinux aimed at developers and hosting businesses.
Through UMVA Market, users can also purchase digital assets such as PHP scripts, mobile applications, website plugins, and e-commerce automation tools.
In the artificial intelligence space, the company operates UMVA AI, which offers AI-assisted coding, debugging, and software development tools under a pay-as-you-go model—allowing startups and independent developers to access AI tools without committing to fixed monthly subscriptions.
UMVA’s broader ecosystem also targets digital commerce and cross-border mobility:
Digital Finance
The company provides virtual Visa, Mastercard, and Verve cards for online transactions, alongside payment gateways enabling merchants to accept card, mobile money, and cryptocurrency payments.
Business Communications & Marketing
UMVA offers WhatsApp Business and Email APIs for automated customer engagement, as well as UMVA Lab, which provides social media marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) tools.
Travel Connectivity
It supplies travel eSIM data packages covering more than 200 countries and regions, eliminating the need for physical SIM cards for international travelers and visitors to Rwanda.
