Bharti Airtel has signed an agreement with Liquid Telecom to use latter's fibre network for connecting mobile base stations across Africa. This would help Airtel subscribers in the region to access 3G/4G better speeds.
The framework agreement enables Airtel to leverage Liquid Telecom's existing 20,000 km-long fibre network across east, central and southern Africa, as well as utilise new purpose-built fibre infrastructure, to connect Airtel's mobile base stations and enterprise customers with fibre.
