We aim to create a leading, modernised network that can provide data capacity to meet rapidly growing demand and enhance connectivity and digitalisation in our markets. We continue to provide network accessibility to rural areas which is key to building digital inclusion. We achieve it through the rollout of new infrastructure sites and technology, and improved fibre connectivity and capacity.

This is also part of our sustainability strategy – increasing accessibility to our network, improving customer experience through new offerings and technologies, and building the speed and reliability of our service allows us to provide millions more people in urban and rural areas across Africa with fast and reliable access to broadband. In addition, we focus on building and modernising our network through optimal end-to-end design, including spectrum additions, the use of latest RAN (radio access network) technology and fibre rollout.

The recent weather events in Africa have taught us valuable lessons about the importance of ensuring the resilience of our network, and we have carefully studied our contingency plans and approach to ensure that insights are incorporated into our policies and planning at all our OpCos. We continue to appraise our strategies to address unforeseen, high-impact weather or adverse climate events.
