Globitel participates in AfricaCom 2008

AfricaCom 2008 is the annual pan-African event for mobile, fixed wireless and satellite communications professionals and is now in its 11th year. It is the flagship event in the renowned Com World Series and promises to be the biggest yet with over 75 confirmed speakers, 180 exhibitors, and over 10 hours of exhibition seminar content.

Samer Halawa, Globitel's President, said:

"AfricaCom is a milestone in the regional telecom industry. It is instrumental to partake of this far-reaching experience so as to assess the developments and setbacks in the market. We believe that unprecedented progress can be attained through exchange of ideas and experiences in such an exhibition as AfricaCom."

Globitel's rapid expansion over the last decade has seen the company dominate the larger portion of the MEA industry. Catering to most operators in the region and an equally substantial number of enterprises, the company has become a vanguard for the advancement of telecom solutions including Roaming and Value Added Services Solutions.

Globitel presented its Value Added Services (VAS) in this year's AfricaCom. VAS solutions have been elemental in the company's success as a solutions provider as the service spurs subscribers to use their phones more and allows the operators to increase the average revenue per unit. These services also take the personal aspect of mobile telecommunication to another level, assisting in lowering subscriber churn while simultaneously attracting new subscribers.

Globitel's product line stands out in its unmatched personalization and user-friendliness, making it easy for operators to create services that cater to specific target audiences in complete compliance with the pre-existing network infrastructure. Putting this service into effect, Globitel has developed the richest lineup of VAS solutions in the market, and has been a forerunner in their implementation in networks worldwide.

Globitel will also display its other series of solutions during the conference, including their notable Roaming, Network and Customer Care solutions.

It is worth mentioning that the AfricaCom 2007 event attracted over 3,000 top level speakers, delegates, visitors and exhibitors. Over 40% of attendees were at board director level, 109 operator companies attended and over 90 companies were represented across Africa or internationally. This year's event appears to be on an even larger scale, with active participation by countless contributors in the MENA telecom arena.
