POTRAZ To Erect 100 Shared Base Stations In Rural Zimbabwe

The telecoms regulator is set to erect 100 new base stations in rural areas neglected by telecoms. Shared base stations are base stations where Mobile Network Operators share infrastructure like boosters to provide services to their customers in the area.

The body has since issued out a notice to interested parties to come out and declare their interest in constructing the shared base stations. The notice reads in part:

The POTRAZ invites expressions of interest from qualified companies for the ‘designing’, constructing and commissioning of shared telecommunications towers and related passive infrastructure. In pursuit of its mandate under the Universal Services Fund POTRAZ intends to extend rural coverage by constructing 100 base stations in uncovered rural and remote areas in Zimbabwe.

The base station passive infrastructure should accommodate the existing three mobile network operators and provide spare capacity for additional operators. A formal request for proposal will be issued following a review of Expressions of Interest received. Interested parties that demonstrate requisite capability and alignment with the PRAZ’s requirements will be invited to submit proposals for the project.

The project is planned to be implemented as a turnkey vendor financed Build and Transfer Joint Venture agreement. The supplier undertakes the financing and construction of the project and after its completion hands it over to POTRAZ. POTRAZ reimburses the total project investment on the basis of an agreed schedule
