Network-as-a-service: the next step in Africa's rural connectivity

11 Sep 2024
KICC - Tsavo Hall, Level 1
TowerXchange Meetup Africa

Network-as-a-service is proving itself as a viable alternative to fixed-lease contracts for rural coverage, supporting the commercial use-cases and driving MNOs into remote areas. What role to NaaS providers see themselves playing in Africa’s huge infrastructure gap, and does NaaS have a bigger role to play outside of rural frontiers?

  • Pipeline of deployments across Africa
  • What do investors need to know about NaaS?
  • Delivering backhaul for rural networks
  • Will network-as-a-service and Naascos stay on the rural frontiers?
