"The main reason to go into the rural areas is to try to help the economy and the ecosystem to have better penetration. Not only telecom but also other services. When we talk about the rural areas, the main activities are agriculture, farming, plantation. and if they don’t have access to certain telecom infrastructure, this means they don’t have access to any financial services." - Orange Cameroon Director, Engineering And Network Development Abdallah Nassar
One of the ways Orange has gone about the global problem of disconnectivity is to partner with NuRAN Wireless Inc (CNSX:NUR, OTCMKTS:NRRWF).
NuRAN Wireless is a leading mobile and broadband wireless infrastructure solutions supplier that is providing connectivity to the most remote places on the planet. NuRAN offers the world’s most affordable, lowest power consumption and easiest to deploy wireless solutions. The company’s products have a proven track record in the most trying environmental conditions globally.
Orange has signed partnership contracts with NuRAN for the build-out of networking sites in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for a minimum term of ten years. This partnership has the capacity to connect 10’s of millions of people.
"The partnership we set with NuRAN is to go with a certain type of investment and technology into the rural areas. So the penetration with them is to focus where [Orange] doesn’t have coverage, where others don’t have coverage, and to widely spread and to expand coverage with them into those specific areas." - Orange Cameroon Director, Engineering And Network Development Abdallah Nassar
