Millions of MTN subscribers across the continent are inching closer to receiving a broadband windfall following the successful landing of the West Africa Cable System (WACS) cable off the west coast of South Africa this week.

MTN Business, a wholly owned division of MTN, is proud to initiate phase two of its convergence ‘roadmap’ – MTN UniPresence. This solution, allows any cellular device to become an extension of an organisation’s Managed IP PBX, as it offers all the features and functionality of a traditional PABX system, however, it does not require desk phones anymore, as users can make and receive calls wherever they are – through one single number as though they are sitting at their workstations.

MTN Business Namibia is the first and only company in Namibia to offer this advanced WAN Optimisation as a managed service. The fully-managed solution uses Riverbed's pioneering technology to address a host of problems that debilitate enterprise applications operating across the WAN and deliver LAN-like access to data and applications throughout the network.

MTN Business Namibia Country Manager Manfred Engling says that delivering this world-leading WAN Optimisation Service will allow more companies to optimise application performance across the wide area network (WAN) without the prohibitive cost of investing in a on premises WAN Optimisation solution. "Instead of investing in the technology, companies can lease the devices from MTN Business on a subscription basis as part of the overall service."
