SPEAK QUIETLY BUT ALWAYS CARRIER BIG STICK

Global carrier BICS and MTN GlobalConnect have formed a pact that promises to
put Africa’s mobile and digital services on a par with the rest of the world.
Galvanising African productivity, through services like roaming, cloud comms and
IoT connections, could be a huge multiplier for growth and raise prosperity
among the many developing economies across a vast underperforming continent.

The mobile phone, according to the world Bank, was the single biggest factor in
lifting the unbanked out pf poverty and the partners are hoping to achieve a
similar galvanising effect on African GDP as a whole.

According to trade body GSMA there will be 340 million 5G connections in Africa
by 2030. MTN has 289 million subscribers in 17 countries and is aiming to expand
its fibre coverage to 135,000km in the next three years.

Half the world’s roaming

Since BICS carries half the world’s roaming traffic and recently set up the
first intercontinental 5G Standalone service, a pact between the two could
underpin the construction of a new level of international comms. MTN
GlobalConnect was created in 2018 as an operating company in the MTN Group, tact
as a Pan-African digital wholesale and infrastructure services company.

BIS said it solves the problems of today’s device-hungry consumer, such as the
need for global mobile connectivity, seamless roaming, fraud prevention and
authentication, global messaging and the in IoT. With its HQ in Brussels, BICS
claims to have a strong presence in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and
Middle East.

“The connectivity relationship between MTN GlobalConnect and BICS will evolve to
support the growth of digital services in Africa and allow our business to
continue to invest in cutting edge technologies such as 5G,” said Frédéric
Schepens, CEO of MTN GlobalConnect (pictured above right).

Connecting a continent’s communities will create huge opportunities, according
to Matteo Gatta, CEO, BICS (pictured above, left), “Over the next few years, MTN
GlobalConnect and its partners will actively contribute to the expansion of
connectivity that will drive digital services across Africa.

“Through this partnership, people, communities, and enterprises from throughout
the continent will have access to the power of communications to realise their
full potential.”
