NETWORK operator MTN is working around the clock to maintain network stability as power outages, battery theft and vandalism pose ongoing risks.
It said on Friday work operators were fighting hard to maintain network stability in the face of the multiple threats posed by high levels of load shedding, battery theft and the continuous vandalism of network infrastructure.
Ernest Paul, MTN SA General Manager: Network Operations, said “Although the vandals and thieves have a direct impact on network availability and stability, load shedding and load reduction, which has increased over the past five years, has emerged as the biggest contributor to our challenges.”
