TAKING A
OUT OF THECOMPETITION
Airtel is redefi ning the data experience in Nigeria and is reaping the rewards – including a 92 percent
increase in its internet customer base.Writer Ian Armitage
Project manager Donovan Smith
ur pages are littered with investment opportunities. Whether it is opportunities in Kenya’s insurance
market or new mines in Namibia, we’ve pretty much covered it all within the pages of Africa Outlook over the past six months.
Investors are defi nitely excited by what Africa has to off er.
And they are particularly excited about opportunities that exist within the telecoms sector. To quote the uK’s BT, “it’s good to talk”.
Nigeria is one market causing quite the stir and according to u.S.-based research fi rm Pyramid Research, the rate of growth in Nigeria’s telecommunications industry and a large population are parameters that will continue to make the country one of the most attractive markets to investors in Africa and the Middle East.
Pyramid Research is a company that provides international market analysis and consulting services to the communications industry and its study took a fi ve-year look at the country’s telecommunications sector returns, saying that demand profi le in the country, both for voice and data services, is high and by far, the largest in Africa.
It also identifi ed the sound regulatory regime put in place by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the industry regulator, as a key factor bringing about and sustaining the growth potential.
One of the country’s leading mobile telecommunication services providers is Airtel, a fi rm that has seen its fortunes transformed and is now close to becoming Nigeria’s second-biggest mobile phone company.
Nigeria accounts for 35 percent of Airtel’s sales in Africa.
Its market share in the country is now at 20.2 percent.

What’s that down to? Airtel is committed to “driving positive change” in the nation’s telecoms industry by ensuring a “steady stream of innovative product off erings to the market,” says Managing Director & CEO of Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya. “We have redefi ned the data experience in Nigeria,” he says.
Airtel was recently rated the fastest growing Internet/data operator in Nigeria based on a recent study carried out by industry regulator, the NCC.
According to the report, covering the period of June 2012 to March 2013, Airtel recorded a 92 percent increase in its internet customer base.
“Without a doubt this report confi rms our leadership position
in providing reliable and fast 3.75G network coverage to telecoms consumers across the country, especially as we have the widest data/internet footprint in the country,” says Ogunsanya. “I must say it is a great feeling that telecoms consumers in Nigeria are beginning to realise that Airtel has the widest and most reliable 3.75G network in the country. I want to specially thank all our customers for the confi dence they have reposed on us. As a network, we always feel a sense of constructive discontent; and this will, without a doubt, deepen our resolve and commitment as we continue to provide excellent network and service experience to all our customers. We are passionate about providing the most amazing hitch-free Internet experience to

majority of Nigerians and make the most of existing and future “opportunities”.
“There are opportunities in the Nigerian market,” says Ogunsanya. “We have a strong youth population. The uptake of trendy gadgets is on the rise and there is a huge demand for data just as there is demand for voice. Certainly, high penetration of smartphones is defi ning the mobile telephony landscape. The transition from voice to data keeps gaining traction and this is changing the game. You must also single out the extreme and huge demand for mobile broadband. The youths are early adopters with a large appetite for mobile broadband.”The company recently completed is Long Term Evolution (LTE) trial

Background Founded in 2003 by Nigerian telecoms entrepreneur Bassim Haidar, Channel IT forms part of the Channel Group, a diverse pan-African company operating in the fields of Telecom and related Infrastructure, Distribution and Power Solutions, and increasingly active in the provision of Value Added Services (VAS) for the mobile industry.
Channel IT is Africa’s largest independent distributor of Mobile Network Services, and is a trusted partner of Mobile Network Operators, boasting a portfolio of both integrated and stand-alone services and products specifically tailored to the region, falling under two broad categories:-
1. Value Added Services (VAS) Airtime Credit service- Offering a convenient recharge facility to subscribers and enabling Operators to retain and support customers
Electronic Airtime and Mobile Money Platform- A transaction platform which enables the sales of Electronic Airtime and Mobile Money transactions over POS terminals, mobile phones, ATMs and websites,
2. Mobile Network Infrastructure Tower Supply- Supply, installations and Maintenance of Angular, Hybrid, Rapid Deployment, Guyed Towers
Base Station Antennas- Supply and Installation of Top of the Range 2G, 3G, and LTE Antennas providing high quality reception
Cables and RF- Installation of Lightweight cost saving aluminium Feeder Cable, Connectors and RF Sub-Systems, enabling Operators to optimise existing infrastructure and ensure faster deployment of network upgrades.
Low Cost Rural Site Solutions- Solutions which Unlock revenues from new subscriber bases, on the edge, or outside the coverage of Operators, at remarkably low investments, and rapid returns
SIM and Bio Registration (KYC)- Supply of locally appropriate technology enabling an accurate registration process for SIM and Mobile banking
Our Vision Through collaboration with specialised partners, enabling access to leading global technologies, Channel IT aims to provide an integrated service which supports mobile operators in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
A Word from the CEO “I founded the company on two principles ‘innovation and delivering value’. Put simply, we have targeted areas where there have been key needs. We encourage our teams to collaborate with partners, combine this with product research, and then bring the idea through from germination through the process of development, and guarantee timely implementation. CIT builds a relationship built on trust with vendors, supplier and operators – and strengthening this through on time delivery of products and solutions.”
Channel IT is currently investing significantly in the introduction of Value Added Services (VAS) across networks in operational areas, and I envisage that products and services will only form approximately 30 percent of our revenue in the future, as VAS becomes a core part of our business.
