Eswatini is on a mission to roll out high-speed fibre broadband infrastructure for its citizens.

According to Themba Khumalo, MD of The Eswatini Posts & Telecommunications Corporation (EPTC), the landlocked territory will draw lessons from leaders in national fibre roll-out in other markets as it deploys infrastructure to the population.

In this episode of TCS+, filmed on-site in Cape Town during Africa Tech Week, Khumalo delves into:

• The role of EPTC Eswatini;

• Features unique to Eswatini that make the challenge of a national fibre roll-out a little easier than it might be in other territories;

• EPTC’s national fibre strategy;

• How the population will benefit from the speed upgrades that a fibre roll-out will enable;

• The proposed timelines for the competition of the national fibre roll-out; and

• The role government will play in accelerating infrastructure roll-out.
