Shares
Kenya is among 45 other African Countries and telecommunications stakeholders that have launched the first set of ATU spectrum recommendations. These recommendations will focus on transforming Africa into a knowledge economy, through the development of technologies that boost connectivity and innovation.
The spectrum recommendations are as a result of an MoU signed between Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and African Telecommunications Union (ATU) to help quicken the launch of technology across the continent.
In Africa, a limited amount of Spectrum is allocated to the mobile industry as well as other sectors of communication to facilitate the transmission of wireless signals. The launched spectrum recommendations outline the importance of awarding the radio spectrum in countries across Africa in a timely, predictable and cost-effective manner.
