MTN Group and Liquid Telecom have partnered to jointly offer customers access to what they claim to be the largest fixed and wireless footprint across the continent.<\/p>\n
The partnership, which covers wholesale, carrier-to-carrier, high speed broadband, enterprise and fixed data services, enables MTN and Liquid Telecom access to each other\u2019s fixed and wireless networks in countries on the African continent, where one party may not currently have presence.<\/p>\n
According to Liquid Telecom, the partnership is in response to the increasing demand from businesses across West Africa for the company\u2019s broadband service. \u201cWe have a well-deserved reputation in East, Central and Southern Africa, for providing quality broadband to businesses. We are laying 100km of new fibre every week but have decided to partner for the time being in West Africa so that we can immediately meet demand from businesses there,\u201d said Nic Rudnick, CEO of The Liquid Telecom Group.<\/p>\n
The additional countries which Liquid Telecom will now have a presence in are Benin, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Republic, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Sudan, South Sudan and Swaziland.<\/p>\n
The agreement with Liquid Telecom gives MTN the ability to service its multinational enterprise customers in Burundi, DRC, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
