The project relates to the investments in the promoters' mobile broadband networks in Tanzania and Madagascar. In Tanzania, the existing hardware of the radio access networks will be replaced by hardware based on a new innovative technology that will substantially improve the networks' energy efficiency. As a result, about 3000 additional sites in the country will get 4G coverage. In Madagascar, 4G will be activated on approximately 1300 sites. In both countries, the promoter will also start to deploy 5G, adding this new technology to a limited number of sites, mainly ln urban areas. Additionally, the project will also include core network upgrade and expansion in Madagascar, investments in microwave links to support the radio access network growth and 3G coverage and capacity expansion in both countries.
