The RETICEO ecosystem brands

RETICE (Energy Network and ICT for Education and Enterprises)

RETICEO deploys the 3-in-1 digital infrastructure in every school — CeRSER energy, local UHD connectivity (Smart Local Cloud) and ZEP-X terminals. An educational scenario replicating all activities of a face-to-face and distance learning session, without Internet.

Scope: School, local connectivity

RENAL-SMART 80/20 (Energy & Digital Networks for Local Autonomy)

The wide-coverage connectivity infrastructure: autonomous energy (CeRSER), local UHD connectivity and Smart Local Cloud education platform. Voice-Video-Data without Internet or telecom operator, from 5 to 40 km, scalable to city, region or country level. Costs divided by 4.

Scope: network, hubs, terminals, LMS, content, KAT-EXAM

RENAL SMART 80/20 →

KAT-AI (Educational Artificial Intelligence)

AI engine embedded in every ZEP-X terminal — adaptive pedagogy, intelligent governance, personalised guidance. Works 100% on the local RETICE network, without Internet or external cloud.

Scope: all ZEP-X terminals, KA SOFT LMS, KAT-EXAM, Smart Local Cloud

KAT-AI — Embedded educational AI →

VISIO CLASS ROOM (Virtual classrooms)

RETICE virtual classrooms in-person and at distance — 4 scenarios: hybrid mode, studio, home, emergency/shortage. Works on RETICE local network and RENAL-SMART wide coverage, without Internet.

Scope: all RETICE institutions, ZEP-X, KA SOFT LMS, KAT-AI

VISIO CLASS ROOM — Education everywhere →

KAT-InspEduc (Digital inspection)

Digital pedagogical inspection platform enabling Ministry inspectors to conduct their missions in-person and remotely — from the office to any RETICE-RENAL SMART institution. Coupled with KAT-AI: autonomous virtual pedagogical inspector, available 24/7.

Scope: Ministry, inspectors, school principals, teachers · 6 domains · 7 workflow steps

KAT-InspEduc — The inspection of tomorrow →

Pedagogical Impact (SDG 4)

6 educational transformation levers aligned with SDG 4 frameworks — improvement of foundational learning, equity, resilience, 21st-century skills. Evidence-based data: 92% motivation · +15% performance · −20% dropout.

Pilot: 36 months · 15 institutions · 100 learning environments · Cameroon

Pedagogical impact — Evidence of impact →

NETSCP Plan

New Economic, Technological and Social for Growth, against Unemployment and Poverty. Cross-cutting programme of high-impact technological transformation: massive qualified youth training, company creation, local industrialisation (SMT assembly, educational terminals, telecom equipment).

Scope: production, assembly, industrial training, skilled jobs

NETSCP Plan → High-impact transformation
Specialisations

Equipment manufacturer & infrastructure provider: a strategic rarity

Very few players combine these two trades in an integrated manner. It is this vertical integration that makes the RETICEO BOO model possible — and its execution in the field.

  • Electronic boards (SMT) — local assembly to reduce costs and create jobs.
  • ZEP-X terminals — 8 PC + Tablet Zero Paper models, E-ink + LED, Active Stylus, locally assembled.
  • RENAL SMART 80/20 infrastructure — 3-in-1 solution: autonomous energy CeRSER, local UHD connectivity, educational Smart Local Cloud. Costs ÷ 4.
  • KAT-EXAM — 100% digitalisation of exams (Class, School, National), AES-256, zero paper.
  • KAT-AI — educational AI embedded in ZEP-X: adaptive pedagogy, intelligent governance, personalised guidance.
  • Patented innovations — legally protected breakthrough solutions.

A philosophy that guides every decision

"Everything for the greatest number."

This philosophy translates concretely into three commitments:

  • Radical affordability — technological frugality in service of inclusion.
  • Operational resilience — works where others fail.
  • Multiplied impact — technological, economic, social.
