Africa
, we are pleased to see a significant opportunity in another emerging market such as
South America
. The global demand for reral coverage expansion is a huge opportunity for Mitec and many of its products. We are also pleased that the customer has identified how Mitec can be part of their on-going communications infrastructure initiatives slotted for later this year and we continue to work with other South American mobile operators for similar opportunities".
