eLTE private network at Ghana hydropower facility most challenging African project yet for Huawei

The evolved long-term evolution (eLTE) broadband private network that Chinese information and communication technology company Huawei installed for the Bui Power Authority’s (BPA’s) hydropower plant, in northern Ghana, was one of the most challenging industrial private broadband network projects the company has encountered in Africa so far. “It was a good test of our capacity for building broadband private networks in such complex situations,” Huawei corporate communications VP Edison Xie told Engineering News during a site visit of the hydropower plant and related infrastructure last week.
