Transforming Fixed Wireless Access

Africa is undergoing a digital transformation, driven by a young, fast-growing population, thriving cities, and an increasing demand for connectivity. With its population expected to nearly double by 2050, Africa presents immense potential for economic growth and technological advancement. However, persistent challenges such as economic fragility, rising spending pressures on infrastructure, health, and education, as well as a deep digital divide, continue to limit progress. Millions of Africans remain without access to the internet, restricting opportunities in education, e-commerce, and remote work.

The telecommunications industry is undergoing a significant transformation as network operators develop Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offerings. By exposing their wired and wireless networks as programmable platforms, operators are enabling public cloud and private enterprise applications to leverage network intelligence, scale, and speed in unprecedented ways. A key driver of this transformation is the emergence of standardized network APIs, which offer developers and system integrators (SIs) new opportunities to enhance application performance and security.
