NetOne has been struggling with mobile data of late and this new project will help the MNO with its service delivery. On top of that Jeckie Jiang also said that the new systems will also aid in upping security.
With the world moving rapidly onto digital services, hackers have also stepped up their efforts when it comes to breaching network defences.
“The government attaches great importance to NetOne’s investment in mobile networks and communications infrastructure. This ensures communication security and improves the general service level of telecoms”
