Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a subsidiary of Pan-African technology group Cassava Technologies, has launched the Metro Ring in Gaborone, Botswana.

“The Metro Ring represents a significant achievement in Gaborone's telecommunications infrastructure, showcasing the successful collaboration between the public and private sectors to advance technology for the benefit of Botswana,” Tamajobe further added.
The project will be implemented in two phases and the first phase of the Metro Ring rollout focuses on reducing data tariffs, particularly benefiting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have historically faced disadvantages.
With an emphasis on high-density areas of Gaborone, this initiative aligns with Botswana Vision 2036, the government's strategy to elevate the country's economic status.

Overall, the Metro Ring launch stands as a remarkable achievement for Botswana's telecommunications landscape. It reflects the partnership between the public and private sectors, driving technology advancement in the region. As Liquid Intelligent Technologies continues to innovate and expand, its role in shaping Africa's technological future remains significant.
