MTN to invest R700 million in to KwaZulu-Natal to modernise network infrastructure and improve base station security.
Telecoms group MTN says it will deploy and modernise new and existing network infrastructure across KwaZulu-Natal with an R700 million investment.
68% of MTN’s plan to modernise the network has already been completed, 1,350 sites are finalised, and roughly 200 top areas will be covered across South Africa by the end of 2022, it said. The company has over 900 active 5G sites across the country and aims to close the digital access gaps in South Africa by having 20% of the population covered by 2022.
The company aims to have over 100 rural deployments nationally in highly underserved areas by the end of 2022.Despite heightened security and its community collaboration strategy having a 50% year-on-year reduction in battery theft, the crime remains a major stumbling block, MTN said.
