London-registered
mobile operator Artilium has announced a new deal which will see it significantly
strengthen its foothold in Africa, according to bdaily.co.uk.
Artilium
has partnered with Tritente Global Energy Group to launch Artilium-Africa,
which will see the firm bring its 3G and 4G mobile data service, along with
cloud and telecom services to the African market.
The
telecoms company already provides micro-data center services to 50 telecoms
companies, including T-Mobile, and hopes its low-cost, energy efficient data
centres will help it gain a foothold across Africa.
Artilium
has also announced that it is in the process of obtaining a value added
services license for Ethiopia, and is looking to have a presence in 20 to 40
different countries within five years.
Washington
DC-based Tritente Global Energy Group will support the growth of
Artilium-Africa thanks to its extensive network of connections and ongoing
infrastructure and renewable
energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Bart
Weijermars, Chief Executive Officer of Artilium said: “Tritente is the perfect
platform for Artilium to expand into Africa, which is in the early stages of
the data and telecom revolution.
Tritente is leading $6 billion of projects in
renewable energy and power transmission in Sub Saharan Africa. They can open
avenues in dozens of the 52 Sub Saharan countries.”
Paul
Delkaso, Chief Executive Officer of Tritente and Managing Partner of
Artilium-Africa added: "Our plan is to bring the Artilium-Africa solution
to every African country mobile operator, MVNO business, educational
institution, Government entities and every cell phone holder."
