How to Check Airtel Data Balance

Airtel Nigeria has said it is investing additional $120million on building its data centre in the country while doubling its investment on network expansion in Nigeria.

The data centre which it said would be the largest in the country after its completion has an Information Technology load of 38 megawatts.

Sited at Eko Atlantic in Lagos Island, the Airtel data centre would also boost the capacity of the telcos data network and improve its service, according to the CEO, Dinesh Balsingh.

Balsingh, in a roundtable with journalists in Lagos on Tuesday, added that disruption to fibre cables during road construction still affects good quality networks of operators.  The Airtel CEO who hailed the federal government’s digital policies urged FG to do more to tackle vandalism.

Meanwhile, Airtel has launched an AI-powered, future-ready software platform that will help telcos all around the world rid themselves of underlying complexity, focus on the customer, helping improve experience, lower churn and raise ARPU.
