MTN to modernise core networks

MTN South Africa and MTN Nigeria plan to modernise their core network over the next five years after signing a deal with Ericsson for the project.

The modernisation will ensure the readiness of the two operating unitsā€™ network infrastructure for ā€œ5G standaloneā€, where the network is layered end to end with 5G technologies.

The modernised core networks will be powered by Ericssonā€™s ā€œcloud-native, dual-modeā€ 5G core.

Mazen MrouƩ, MTN Group chief technology officer, said in a statement that the project will enhance network performance and efficiency once completed.

MTN Nigeria chief technical officer Mohammed Rufai said: ā€œWhen completed, it will accelerate broadband penetration in alignment with the federal governmentā€™s broadband plan.ā€

MTN South Africa chief technology officer Rami Farah said: ā€œThis will allow our network infrastructure to support strong data growth and enable 5G standalone in the future.ā€

The ultimate aim of the projects, MTN said, is to build a ā€œmodern, agile and cloud-native core networkā€ aimed at delivering new products and an improved customer experience.
