Mobile network operators in small states and big states face the same network challenges. However, smaller state operators also deal with many additional obstacles specific to the nature of small states.
Every year since 2000, these operators have met to discuss and workshop matters in the telecoms industry that impact their smaller states. While it is a small event, only attended by a select specialist group of industry leaders, it is also one of the most important on the telecoms calendar.
The various geographies of island groups and mountainous areas and the revenue potential of low populations in small states further complicate existing industry issues like monetising 5G, closing connectivity gaps, and multi-generation networks. So, big operators are often interested in learning how these issues are dealt with so they can implement the solutions, potentially risk-free, in their situations.
“We specialise in delivering bespoke solutions in situations with complex networks. So, it’s apt that we meet with this group of operators who, in difficult circumstances, deliver outstanding services for consumers and the industry at large.
“I was thrilled to speak in front of them and explain how we are meeting the needs of operators like them, such as with Telesur in Suriname, Solomon Telekom in the Solomon Islands, and Vodafone French Polynesia in the archipelagos of the South-Central Pacific Ocean.”
