Connected Africa - Telecom Innovation & Excellence Awards’ Post

🌐 Exploring the challenges faced by wireless internet service providers in ensuring seamless connectivity. From spectrum allocation to infrastructure hurdles, addressing these issues is crucial for a connected future. #WirelessConnectivity #TechChallenges

The theme for this year’s Africa Telecommunications Day is Towards a Digital Revolution and Inclusion of the Marginalized: Addressing Accessibility Factors. According to the African Telecommunications Union (ATU),  72% of Africa's population lacks access to mobile internet and nearly 200 million people in the region today live in areas not covered by a mobile broadband network. Across the Africa continent, at ATC Africa, we are constantly thinking of new and improved ways to lead wireless connectivity and one of the ways we do this is through our platform extensions. These are value-added services that build on our core infrastructure addressing unique wireless connectivity challenges, like in rural parts of Africa through our RAN-as-a-Service solution to ensure no one is left behind in digital revolution. At ATC Africa, we are determined to make an impact and close the digital divide by providing the connectivity backbone to power Africa’s digital revolution and ensure inclusion of the marginalized. We will continue to innovate for a mobile future that includes everyone, everywhere, as we build a more connected Africa. #ATCAfrica #makinganIMPACT #connectingtheunconnected #ruralconnectivity

Elia Tsouros, Associate Partner, is moderating a panel at ITW Africa next week. The panel, titled 'How are the new ‘Techcos’ remaining competitive?' will take place at 12:15 EAT on 13 September. DISCUSSION The leading telcos are diversifying revenues to capitalise on new opportunities outside of traditional connectivity. In what are relatively uncharted territories, established technology giants and hyperscale players can make the transition difficult to complete. This session will address:    · How traditional telco models are being swapped out for more tech-driven services, and what this means for product teams · The enterprise application needs that are driving the shift to the ‘digital service provider’ · The role of cutting-edge technologies such as SD-WAN, NaaS, and CPaaS in delivering more secure and optimised experiences for users? SPEAKERS Joseph Kibwott – Head of Carrier Business - Africa, Wananchi Telecom Alit Atmaja – Global Head ROAM & MD Hong Kong, Telin Edison Smith – VP of Sales EMEA, Connectbase George Njuguna – Director - Information Technology • Digital IT Dept, Safaricom We hope to see you there. #conference #Africa #Kenya #Nairobi #networks #telecoms #telco #hyperscale
