The project aims to reduce costs and increase the speed of rolling out internet connectivity.”
The organisation expressed delight about the development.
Navi Naidoo, a group network technology officer at MTN, said in a stetement: “As MTN, we are excited about the possibility of bringing more than 19Tbps of connectivity to the community, using open optical networking technology.
