In July, Liquid Telecom and Telecom Egypt signed a memorandum of understanding in which Liquid will connect
its network with Telecom Egypt’s network through Sudan’s new cross-border fiber interconnection system.
“The signing of the MoU is an important step in our strategy to penetrate the African market and provide ET’s state-of-the-art technology and global infrastructure services
to customers across Africa.
We look forward to working with Liquid Telecom to develop new network services and products that will help stimulate intraregional trade,” said
