Meeting US customer needs in Africa

North American companies in a range of sectors including financial services, mining and energy companies are looking to have a presence in Africa. Dennis explains how Orange can help. Challenges are both business and infrastructure related. In many locations there is no reliable telecoms of electrical infrastructure, which means that Orange often relies on wireless connectivity. Satellite is still very important, both as a primary and backup technology. However the network environment is changing with more connectivity coming on line. East Africa in particular is changing quickly and has recently gained direct submarine cable access, giving companies in that region many more connectivity options.
