Mobile and fixed line operator Sudatel Telecom Group and Liquid Telecom are to build new FTTH networks across Sudan. The partnership will increase the broadband capacity and speeds available to homes and businesses in Sudan, which are currently reliant on wireless networks to access the Internet. Leveraging Liquid Telecom's experience in deploying high-speed networks, Sudatel will build FTTH networks in Sudan designed to the highest network standards and using the latest technologies. Comparable to similar networks deployed in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya and Rwanda by Liquid Telecom, an Econet Global company, the new FTTH networks will deliver speeds initially up to 100 Mbits/s. This is expected to transform the way Sudanese businesses and consumers experience and use the Internet. By investing in Sudan's telecoms infrastructure, Sudatel and Liquid Telecom will help raise the quality of network services in the country while also increasing competition in the local market.
