Nokia announces an agreement with fibertime for connect 400,000 additional households in disadvantaged areas of Africa of the South, as part of a goal of 2 million connections by 2028. The operator will use Nokia IP and fiber access technologies to build semi-mobile networks offering unlimited high-speed access to individuals and local businesses.

Lightspan solutions, Wi-Fi 6, and the 7750 Wireless Access Gateway will ensure continuous coverage in townships, while the Altiplano platform and the Fiber Health module Analyzer will increase network automation and reliability.

According to Danvig De Bruyn, CEO of fibertime, this collaboration makes it possible to connect 1200 households per day to a unlimited internet offer at 5 Rands per day, without a contract. Sandy Motley, President of Nokia's fixed networks, points out that these technologies are opening up the path to affordable connectivity in regions that have hitherto been difficult to serve'.
