Significant events
- “Following a strong third quarter performance the business was then hit with a major satellite outage following the failure and loss of Intelsat's IS33e GEO satellite in October which resulted in 750 sites being offline in Cameroon, DRC and Zambia for several months in the last quarter.”
- “In the second half of the year the company took the decision to cease activities and switch off sites in countries where there was no active contract and where the operations were not contributing to profitability.”
- “In April 2024 the third and final disbursement of $5m was drawn down under the Debt facility taking the total borrowing under the facility to $20m and this enabled the company to maintain its tower deployment and rollout programme throughout the year which will continue into 2025.”
