Highlighting just one example, India has the third highest internet usage and the largest mobile data consumption in the world. In 2015, the Indian government introduced the Smart Cities Program for 109 cities, presenting a huge opportunity for wireless operators.
The Middle East and Africa (MEA) region has also been rolling out smart city initiatives, with Rwanda as a pioneer. With Dubai hosting the Expo 2020 and the expected tourism boost, public WiFi demands could increase significantly.
Nilesh Nagarsheth joins the Fontech International Sales Team to cover the MEA region. He has worked in the telco sector for over 24 years, and knows the ins and outs of the industry like the back of his hand.
Stable economic growth has boosted tourism in Latin America, leading to higher investments in WiFi services by operators and governments to meet the increasing connectivity demands. New MVNOs are appearing in the region are looking to leverage WiFi Offload.
Joining our Madrid-based representative, Gabriella Di Domizio, Osmar Corrêa is our manager for Latin America, based in São Paulo. Omar believes Brazil offers unique possibilities for the WiFi market since a third of all smartphone users in South America live there.
North America and the Caribbean
North America is facing an entirely different set of market circumstances. Due to OTT disruption, high data demand from the increasing number of connected devices, and the rising popularity of unlimited plans, fixed operators are pressured to mobilize their offerings. Mobile operators are also looking to gain network efficiencies through offload. In Central America, the tourism industry is spurring interest in WiFi services.
Cecilia Farrugia, a seasoned expert in the telco sector, is spearheading our sales efforts in this region.
