China Telecom sees the move as a big step towards facilitating WiFi roaming between operators, help increase user demand for Wi Fi access in China and its markets across the world.

The China Telecom (Africa and Middle East unit will run the firm’s local subsidiaries and expand its business in the region and tap into the growing presence of Chinese firms on the continent. China Telecom works with SimbaNET Malawi. SimbaNET is a Wananchi Group company.

“We’re committed to providing best quality Wi Fi service for consumers and corporate customers, and our roaming partners.” said Mr.Yan Ou, Deputy Managing Director, International Business Department of China Telecom. “We’ve installed best in class communications equipment, and we continue to increase Wi Fi coverage in China and its application in industries, such as Smart Cities and Logistics.”
