2020-05-13 14:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Alphabet's Loon and Vodacom Group have agreed to use Loon's balloon-powered internet service to expand the Vodacom network in Mozambique. Vodacom will provide service to un-served and under-served parts of the country with a network of floating cell phone towers that operate 20 kilometres above Earth. Vodacom will expand mobile network access to Cabo Delgado and Niassa provinces, two regions that have proven hard to cover in the past because of challenging geography and low population density.
