Last week was a great week for us at Cambridge Broadband Networks. As you may have seen in the press we were presented with the prestigious ’Business Innovation’ award at the annual GTB (Global Telecoms Business) Innovation Awards 2009 in conjunction with leading pan-African service provider, Gateway Communications.
With companies like Cable & Wireless announcing that they have identified African countries as a high growth market, it seems that our views on the region’s potential are starting to catch on. Our operations in Africa started in 2003 and we’ve been working with great companies like Gateway Communications, MTN Group, Sentech, Neotel, Wana and Vodacom ever since. Together we have collaborated to make fast and cost-efficient mobile broadband and voice services accessible all over Africa.
It’s great to be recognized as a key player in one of the world’s most dynamic regions and we look forward to playing a part in its continued growth.
As the predicted flow of investments from diverse industries starts to drive up Africa’s requirement for telecommunications, we plan to continue providing the region with mobile broadband capabilities, in some cases for the first time. Not only to support the growing needs for high-capacity broadband in business, but also to provide the people of Africa with connectivity for education, employment and new opportunities.
