Zimbabwe: 15 Base Stations to Increase Coverage
4 weeks ago
Business Reporter
The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ), is spearheading the construction of 15 base stations in rural areas to enhance connectivity and access to e-learning facilities by students in these communities during Covid-19 induced lockdowns and going forward.
The initiative, which is being undertaken in conjunction with mobile network operators will bridge the digital divide between rural communities and urban centres.
The Covid-19 induced lockdowns implemented at various levels since March 30 last year exposed the gap between urban and rural communities with students in poor rural communities failing to access e-learning facilities due to cost or lack of infrastructure in their areas.
