He reiterated the company’s willingness to be part of Angola’s digital transformation process, but also in Africa in general.
In turn, Africell’s executive director, Ziad Dalloul, explained that the said value of investment served for the company to install 800 aerials and build 400 kilometres of optical fibre, among other technological undertakings.
He said although Angola is the latest country to integrate the group, it has already started to be an example in the construction of a 5G network and the supply of innovative services.
