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

MTN Group's Ralph Mupita and Rwandan ICT Minister Paula Ingabire met last week to explore ambitious investments in connectivity and innovation.

The collaboration aims to help financial institutions meet the stringent new regulations introduced by the Central Bank of West African States.

The telco says fintech innovation and surging data consumption boosted the company’s Q1 results, recording 12.3% year-on-year increase in service revenue.

As Africa's two largest economies, the two countries emphasised their shared commitment to growing intra-African trade and encouraging mutually beneficial economic growth.

The company says the use of Artificial Intelligence in customer value management initiatives helped improve user experience across its service offerings.

MTN South Sudan commits itself to community welfare by delivering food to more than 1,000 underprivileged persons in Juba.

The company say the licence enables it to plan and invest strategically in the infrastructure and technology that will fuel the country's future connectivity.

The amount to be recovered is owing to outstanding licence fees and various unpaid financial penalties that date back several years.

The planned service will use Synamedia's cloud-based technologies to provide both linear television and video-on-demand content.

The initiative, according to the telco, aims to bridge the energy gap; ensuring residents can stay connected by providing free and sustainable power solutions.
