Cameroon pursues digital independence via data centres

According to the Zambian government, the new tower is part of a 51-communication tower project aimed at improving connectivity.

IHS Towers and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps plan to develop and implement measures to protect telecoms infrastructure.

IHS said the agreement to sell Rwanda operations was carefully considered as part of strategic initiatives targeted at shareholder value-creation.

The move follows repeated customer complaints about frequent optic fibre cuts, service disruptions, poor and unsteady internet speeds.

This investment, according to Lagos State, is a critical step in its ambition to increase connectivity, accelerate digital transformation activities.

Telecom infrastructure has been increasingly targeted, with thieves stealing cables, lithium-ion batteries, and generators, disrupting communication services.

The two parties are collaborating on a 740-kilometer fibre-optic connectivity between Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

The breach at SAA is significant not just because of the systems hit, but because of what it tells attackers: that critical infrastructure in South Africa is a soft target.

The telco said the modernisation and upgrade of the 4G/5G network in Chalala will drive growth and help empower enterprising people in the community.

The new route supports over 1 terabyte of capacity and offers low-latency, high-redundancy connectivity to key data centres in Kampala.

The telco claims insiders with knowledge of infrastructure layouts, vulnerabilities, and timetables are allegedly assisting in disrupting the fibre network.
