From early 2019, wholesale roaming services will be made available across Liquid Intelligent Technologies\u2019s network nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Liquid Intelligent Technologies South Africa CEO, Reshaad Sha: \u201cThis is an exciting development which will enable us to provide Mobile Network Operators and ISPs with open access to our mobile 4G network. Using our 1800MHz spectrum, the network will handle 4G mobile data traffic to meet the needs of the most demanding users across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquid Intelligent Technologies, which acquired Neotel from Tata Communications in February 2017, has been investing heavily across the continent where it operates Africa\u2019s largest independent fibre network that is almost 70,000km in length and linked to more than 600 towns and cities in 13 countries. This includes the recent completion of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/liquid.tech\/about-us\/news\/cape_to_cairo_network_recognised_at_africacom_awards\/\">Liquid Intelligent Technologies\u2019s award winning \u2018Cape to Cairo\u2019 network<\/a>\u00a0which represents the first direct land-based terrestrial fibre link from Cape Town to Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis milestone builds on a remarkable year for Liquid Intelligent Technologies. I am encouraged that the momentum will continue into 2019 with South African operators having access to wholesale roaming services across our network for the first time.\u201d Said Nic Rudnick, Group CEO of Liquid Intelligent Technologies. \u201cOur announcement today, caps a busy and successful year which includes our recent announcement of a $180m investment in Liquid Intelligent Technologies by CDC Group Plc, the UK\u2019s development finance institution. This will enable us to expand our broadband connectivity to some of the most underserved communities across the African continent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December Liquid Intelligent Technologies also reached an agreement with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/liquid.tech\/about-us\/news\/liquid_intelligent_technologies_to_invest_8bn_egp_400m_usd_in_egyptian_network_infrastructure_and_data_centres\/\">Telecom Egypt to invest $400m in Egypt over the next three years<\/a>\u00a0as a leading connectivity and cloud solutions provider for the first time in North Africa, serving businesses in the region with a world-class network and data centre services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liquid Intelligent Technologies South Africa to provide wholesale open access roaming services to network operators starting early 2019.
