    Malawi: G-Mobile signs US$90m deal with SA firm

    Malawi's Global Advanced Integrated Networks (G-Mobile) has entered into a deal with South Africa's Beryl Capital and Telecoms worth US$90m. The deal which is for the supply, installation and commissioning of the company in the country will enable G-Mobile to roll out and start its operations by December 2009.

    “This will make G-Mobile's network the most stable and reliable telecommunications infrastructure in the country and therefore give it an edge on the market,” said Beryl managing director, Vincent Ramphenyane, adding that the roll-out strategy will include installation of voice and high speed data network.

    One of the G-Mobile directors who appended his signature to the contract on behalf of the company said they entered into the partnership with Beryl because of its impressive resume as a back-up partner of other telecommunications services providers in Africa.
