To improve the country's global connectivity, Mozambique's national telecom provider is collaborating with Bayobab, MTN's digital infrastructure division.

The telco's international communication services will be managed and supported by Bayobab, which will offer full end-to-end management, according to a statement.

In order to provide scalable and dependable services for customers and businesses, TMCEL will make use of Bayobab's global communication platforms, which include IPX, international voice, and international roaming.

Furthermore, the partnership will facilitate fluid cross-border connectivity and assist people in staying connected when making international calls, said TMCEL

Furthermore, the alliance represents a significant milestone for Bayobab’s partnership strategy, which aims to support African operators with the same level of capabilities provided across its footprint.

Both firms believe this strategic collaboration marks a pivotal step in public-private partnerships and reinforces a shared vision to accelerate digital transformation.

They went to say by combining TMCEL’s local strength with Bayobab’s global capabilities, they are creating a foundation for resilient connectivity and inclusive growth across the Southern African nation and beyond.

“The partnership marks a transformative step for the country’s connectivity landscape. By leveraging Bayobab’s global platforms and expertise, we are strengthening TMCEL’s ability to deliver quality voice and roaming services to customers. Together, we are positioning the nation as a key hub for innovation and growth in the region,” said TMCEL chairman, Mahomed Mussá.

“This partnership with TMCEL is a powerful example of how MTN Digital Infrastructure is extending its scale and capabilities to empower African operators,” said Mazen Mroué, CEO of MTN Group Digital Infrastructure.

He added: “By extending our global platforms to support TMCEL in Mozambique, we are helping improve the everyday connectivity experience while enabling innovation, growth, and digital inclusion for millions.”
