Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Market Report 2022: Statistics and Analyses - DRC Improves Telecom Network Infrastructure - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Democratic Republic of Congo - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

DRC improves telecom network infrastructure

The DRC poses several difficulties for telcos and infrastructure providers. There are many areas of the country which remain lawless, and where the authority of the central government is nominal.

The telecom sector is largely based on mobile services, given that fixed-line networks are sparse.

Nevertheless, the country continues to attract investment from regional operators, as well as from the national telco SCPT, which in mid-2021 contracted LMS Holding to extend its terrestrial network with an additional 3,000km of fibre. In addition, LMS upgraded SCPT's landing station at Muanda to 100Gb/s capacity, and built additional networks covering several cities.

Liquid Intelligence Technologies (formerly Liquid Telecom) has also invested in the country as it develops its international network. The DRC provides a digital corridor for the company, enabling it to connect to international submarine cables landing on Africa's east and west coasts.

In late 2021, LIT completed a 5,000km fibre cable which linked up several areas of the country, while it has also teamed up with Facebook to lay an additional 2,000km of fibre (including metro). LIT provides wholesale services to MNOs and ISPs on the network.
