TowerXchange wanted to understand the impact of tower transactions on the Managed Services (MS) business in Africa, so we spoke to market leaders Huawei. In this exclusive interview, we examine the operation of Huawei’s MS business in Africa; how they partner with MNOs, what capabilities they consider core and keep in-house, and what is outsourced, and we ask the value proposition they present to towercos.
TowerXchange: Please introduce yourself, your role and Huawei’s managed services business in East and Southern Africa.
Lu Yuming, Director, Assurance & Manage Services, Eastern and Southern Africa, Huawei:
I’m responsible for Huawei AMS business unit in the ESA (Eastern and Southern Africa) Region.
