Africa continues to play digital catch up as the power, connectivity and data center infrastructure required to enable robust digital inclusion is unavailable in a lot of countries

Many countries embrace mobile network connectivity as the only solution to digital inclusion and pay less attention to other infrastructure classes that enable use cases beyond mobile internet and social media

While fiber networks and power infrastructure are beginning to see an uptick in rollout and investment; the infrastructure required to enable new technology capabilities such as artificial intelligence is lagging seriously

To catch up, Africa needs localized infrastructure focused on advanced compute use cases to satisfy cost, customization, latency and data security requirements

To fulfill this need, we are deploying autonomous infrastructure hosting customized generative pre-trained transformer models in large and quantized versions at the network EDGE

In addition to this, we are developing behind the meter hyperscale infrastructure to cater to large GPU/TPU clusters for training, fine tuning, inference and industry specific applications
