Nokia and Tizeti have partnered to supply over one million subscribers in Nigeria with LTE technology.
The telco will deploy Nokia’s AirScale Base Station TDD-LTE and Fastmile Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) gateways in order to deliver Internet and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, according to a report in ITNews Africa.
The solution is expected to enable Tizeti to deliver a more robust, high-speed internet service to subscribers and the flexibility to seamlessly evolve to 5G Fixed Wireless Access when needed.
Nokia says that its FWA solution will allow Tizeti to fast-track broadband access and provide a best-in-class broadband experience to its subscribers.
Similarly, its AirScale Base Stations ensure high-quality connectivity and coverage and enable Tizeti to evolve the network in line with customer demand.
“We are committed to providing the best-in-class network experience to our subscribers. We are confident that Nokia’s proven technology and expertise will help us differentiate our services based on quality.
“This is a crucial project for us as it introduces LTE in our networks and allows us to bring new and innovative services to our subscribers,” says Kendall Ananyi, CEO of Tizeti.
Eniola Campbell, Head of Customer Business Team for Nokia Nigeria, says, “We are thrilled to work with Tizeti on the initiative to upgrade their network to bring the latest products and services to its subscribers.
Nokia Fastmile will help Tizeti to cost-effectively enhance the customer experience. The project will also enable them to delight their subscribers by providing more reliable data services. On the other hand, Tizeti will benefit by adding new revenue streams.”
