Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has announced plans to upgrade 500 of its base stations and deploy equipment at 300 additional sites by the end of this year.
A report from NewsDay cites Econet’s Chief Operating Officer, Kezito Makuni, as saying that the rollout will expand coverage and enhance the performance and data throughput of the existing network.
He said: ‘The network upgrade and expansion provides us with the opportunity to leverage emerging new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and artificial intelligence. These transformative technologies have the potential to change our day-to-day lives, business processes, optimise resource allocation and create innovative solutions. However, they heavily rely on strong and capable network infrastructure to function optimally.’
