MTN South Africa Completes a Tower Agreement With IHS Towers

Following a lengthy competitive process, telecommunications company MTN South Africa has completed a passive tower infrastructure acquisition with IHS Towers.

The acquisition is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2022, subject to various conditions precedent, including regulatory approvals.

The deal entails the outsourcing of power and related services (“power as a service, or PaaS”) throughout MTN South Africa’s complete site footprint of almost 12 800 sites.

“The offer value is roughly R6.4 billion,” MTN stated, referring to the 5 709 sites and power assets on third-party sites.

One of the key goals of the transaction, according to MTN, was to achieve an “OpCo-friendly” outcome, which aims to ensure a limited financial impact on MTN South Africa’s current running costs versus leaseback costs, improved network performance, including improved power management, and flexibility to maximize the benefit of MTN South Africa’s active network sharing, including current agreements in place with Cell C and Telkom. MTN will also be exposed to local currency because all leaseback payments to IHS would be made in rand.

MTN owns a 29 percent investment in IHS Towers, a Nigerian company created in 2001. IHS is a global leader in the ownership, operation, and development of shared telecommunications infrastructure. In Latin America, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa, it operates towers.

The MTN-IHS deal follows on the heels of Vodacom Group’s announcement that it will spin off its South African telecoms tower property into a separate firm and may look for partners for the newly formed entity.

The company appeared on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this month, and its market capitalization is estimated to be over $5.2 billion (R80 billion).

Cryptocurrency Drops Below $60,000 For The First Time Since September

Cryptocurrency Drops Below $60,000 For The First Time Since September

As of Tuesday, 16th November 2021, Cryptocurrency has dropped below $60, 000 for the first time since September when it last dropped. Also, making Etherium to reach its lowest within a month.

According to some analysts, this fall could be attributed to the bill signed by president Joe Biden, which is the infrastructure bill- The infrastructural bill change the requirements to Tax-Reporting for digital currencies.

Part of the new requirement is the submission by all companies the names, addresses, and phone numbers of their customers to the IRS department, the gross proceed from sales, and the capital gains or losses.

Hayden Hughes, the chief executive officer of Alpha Impact, “We’ve seen the US infrastructure bill gets signed, which has initiated a selloff from traders who are concerned about regulation and taxation.

“It’s something that Bitcoin is always going to be so volatile toward — the more there is an attempt to regulate it, to control it,” said Fiona Cincotta, senior financial markets analyst at City Index. “It just takes the edge off its draw.”

Prior to this fall, crypto has been gaining a lot. “The extreme volatility that the market is prone to could lead to a potential domino effect if more negative news were to emerge and take prices to new lows.” According to Walid Koudmani, an analyst at XTB Market.

Also, China’s new regulation also contributed to this sliding. “The country will study the option of levying punitive power prices for companies that are involved in cryptocurrency mining, National Development and Reform Commission spokeswoman Meng Wei said at a press conference.”

Below are some of the leading crypto coins that were affected by China’s new regulations.

  • Bitcoin (-6.59%),
  • Etherum (-7.64%)
  • Binance Coin (-7.90%)
  • Tether (+0.24%)
  • Solana (-6.48%)
  • Cardana (-6.21%)
  • XRP (-7.30%)
  • Avalanche (-5.08%)
  • Terra (10.50%)

The dropping could be easily channeled to the banning of crypto as a means of exchange in the bank and also stopping its mining among many others by China government.

FG Directs NCC to Issue Research Grants on Emerging Technologies

The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, has directed the National Communications Commission (NCC), to provide grants for tertiary institutions to enhance research on robotics and emerging technologies.

The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isah Pantami, disclosed this during the International Conference on Computing and Advances in Information Technology, organised by Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria on Tuesday.

The three-day conference which was organised by the Department of Computer Science of the institution. The theme was “Fostering Digital Economy Through Recent Trends in Information Technology’’.

Prof. Pantami said the ministry was passionate about supporting emerging technologies in the area of 5G, artificial intelligence, robotics and many more.

To achieve this, the minister said he directed the NCC to come up with research grants that would be given to higher institutions to participate in research in emerging technology.

He said there was a meeting about three weeks ago to review proposals sent by academics in order to see how the Federal Government would support them with research grants in the area of emerging technologies.

According to Pantami, there is a research grant under the National Information Technology Development Agency, where the Federal Government sponsors young academics to higher institutions abroad.

He said all these initiatives were designed to support the digital economy of the country.

The minister noted that as at 2016, according to the World Economic Forum, the global contributions of ICT to economic development stands at 16 percent, and the figure has been predicted to reach 50 percent by 2022. The World Economic Forum had also predicted that by 2022, 132 million jobs would be created within the digital economy sector.

He further noted that the global economy had been digitalised; new opportunities were coming up, particularly with the emergence of disruptive technology like artificial intelligence, robotics, 5G, quantum computing, virtual realities, and many more.

“All these aspects of emerging technologies come up with new opportunities that make ICT to dominate the world economy; as it is today, ICT was a key enabler to the growth and development of the world economy,’’ the minister said.

He added that the trend was the same in Nigeria, as at 2020, the National Bureau of Statistics said the fastest growing sector of Nigerian economy was the ICT.

“In the first quarter of 2021, the fastest growing economy in the country was ICT, in the second quarter of 2021, the contribution of ICT to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 17.92 percent,’’ he said.

He, therefore, ascribed the unprecedented ICT’s contribution to GDP on policies of the ministry, emphasizing that within two years the ministry with its agencies came up with 16 national policies.

He added that of the 16 developed national policies, more than a dozen were being implemented, like the `National Digital Economy Policy Strategy for a Digital Nigeria”, which he described as the umbrella policy upon which other policies were developed.

Pantami said the ministry was coming up with subsidiary legislation and regulatory instruments to support the development of ICT sector in the country.

In his remarks, Prof Kabiru Bala, Vice-Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, said the conference was in line with the university’s efforts aimed at reviving the long-standing academic and stakeholders’ engagement.

Bala said that the academic and stakeholders’ engagement was aimed at boosting awareness creation, knowledge sharing, and influencing national and international policy formulations.

The vice-chancellor said the international conference on computing and advances in information technology with a theme “fostering digital economy through recent trends in information technology’’ was relevant and timely.

“The digital economy is an economy which operates predominantly with the help of digital technology. It implies the global network of economic activities processes, transactions, and interactions among people, businesses, and devices among others supported by ICT

“The digital economy permeates the world economy; information was flowing within and across borders with unprecedented volumes, with significant impact on innovation, trades, global value chain, and society; while few aspects of our life remained untouched by digitalisation,” Bala said.

He noted that “emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and cloud computing, among others led to breakthroughs that characterised our world today; this conference is therefore relevant and timely.”

Arravo, Huawei Sensitize Customers on New Technology Solutions

Arravo, a top systems integrator in Africa, recently co-hosted a stakeholders’ forum in Lagos with Huawei, a global technology corporation, to improve customer understanding of new technology trends and solutions that will promote corporate growth and profitability while lowering operational costs.

Mr. Ayo Adegboye, the CEO of Arravo, said in his opening remarks that the event was organized to bring customers together to learn about new technological developments from Huawei.

“We’re looking into new software solutions that can help customers run their firms more profitably. We’re also looking into different layers of authentication to improve client network security, including wireless cloud, which is a new business trend.

Customers who use Huawei Cloud technology are freed from all of the infrastructural constraints that come with developing their own capital-intensive infrastructure. As a result of Huawei Cloud Technology, customers will be able to save money while focusing on their main business of providing real-time service to customers.

Our customers come from a variety of industries, including telecommunications, oil and gas, industry, manufacturing, education, and health,” Adegboye said.

Augustine Ukaa, Huawei’s Channel Manager, gave an overview of the company’s global operations, stating that Huawei will continue to invest in R&D in order to develop new solutions that would drive corporate development and resilience.

“In the last ten years, Huawei has spent over $90 billion on research and development. Our income has consistently increased over time, and our goal is to establish a strong presence in Nigeria so that we can better serve Nigerian clients while collaborating with partners like Arravo,” Ukaa added.

Chinedu Omenkukwu, Huawei’s Senior IP Product Manager, while giving his talk, discussed intelligent network management in an organization and how clients can use Huawei Cloud to establish a fully wireless and intelligent cloud campus network to archive their digital transformation strategy. He said with the help of Huawei Cloud, there would be the necessity for businesses to synchronise their operations into a unified network.

He claimed that organizations are migrating their applications to the cloud, and the Huawei Cloud solution will make this process much faster, easier, and safer.

Furthermore, he outlined four significant obstacles that businesses encounter when attempting to migrate their apps to the cloud. According to him, the issues include a decommissioned Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) network, poor fiber infrastructure, a lack of adequate synchronization of the company’s architecture, and overburdened IT employees.

Omenkukwu stated that in an ideal work environment, everyone would be expected to have a fully wireless architecture that allows unrestricted access to the cloud and that the organization must assure a single global network that connects all apps in order to provide complete automation. He claimed Huawei already has a product portfolio that could match businesses’ needs for moving their applications to the cloud.

“Huawei has four major categories of IP product lines that it deploys to ease access to Huawei Cloud, using four engines such as the Air Engine, which is a code name for the Huawei wireless product; the Net Engine, which is used for the router product lines; the Cloud Engine, which is used for campus switches and data center switches; and the HiSec Engine, which handles the security product lines,” Omenkukwu explained.

He added that Huawei Artificial Intelligence is the common denominator that connects all four engines (AI). He went on to say that if completely deployed, the Huawei Cloud solution may save up to 50% of an organization’s operational costs because it comes with a single platform that can manage Wireless Area Network (WAN), Long Area Network (LAN), and Data Center, among other things.

Harry Hu, the Vice President, Huawei Cloud in charge of Southern Africa, spoke about the Huawei global solutions, and how the solutions could boost business growth and resilience if fully implemented.
