Africa Mobile Networks
A fully connected Africa is here
Africa Mobile Networks (AMN) builds, owns, operates and maintains mobile network infrastructure, delivering services for the biggest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in Africa. AMN's Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model allows Africa's tier-1 Operators to expand their network coverage deep into rural areas, with no capex investment and no opex risk.
AMN uses highly advanced technology to enable services to be delivered economically and sustainably to smaller communities than has ever been possible before. AMN is bringing 2G, 3G and 4G voice and data connectivity to towns and villages which have previously been unconnected.
AMN currently operates more than 4,000 base stations in 15 countries, and ultimately will cover almost every country in sub-Saharan Africa. In August 2020, AMN announced the completion of the acquisition of US-based Range Networks Inc., as the basis for the development of its own in-house Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment.
