TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (Clear Blue or “the Company”) (TSXV: CBLU) (FRANKFURT: 0YA), the Smart Off-Grid™ Company, today announced its Smart Off-Grid technology will be used to power new telecom systems in support of voice and data services from 9mobile, a fast-growing communications provider in Nigeria. Clear Blue was selected for the project by Raeanna Nigeria Limited, a Nigerian infrastructure company focused on rural connectivity and energy solutions.
The two sites in southern Nigeria are proof-of-concepts for a planned much larger 2G/3G/4G project. 9mobile and Raeanna hope to roll out 100 sites in 2020 that will deliver voice and data connectivity in urban and suburban areas of Nigeria.
“Based on the success of our previous collaborations, Clear Blue was the only choice to be the power systems provider for this exciting new project,” said Tunji Alabi, Executive Director of Raeanna Nigeria Limited. “These new sites will add to 9mobile’s telecom infrastructure to meet the huge and growing demand for high speed data in Nigeria.”
Clear Blue’s ability to deliver clean, managed, wireless power – anywhere and anytime – is possible because of its unique, patented predictive analytics. Clear Blue’s service team uses its Illumience platform to manage, control and operate all power systems remotely, ensuring the high availability and service levels needed for telecom services. Illumience is the industry's most advanced off-grid management service, providing real-time, 24-7, remote control, monitoring and management of systems using Smart Off-Grid power.
“With a population of 190 million, Nigeria is one of the largest and fastest growing telecom markets in Africa. Telecom operators, Facebook, and other tech giants are responding to demand with investments for massive rollouts to bring the next billion people onto the Internet,” said Miriam Tuerk, CEO and co-founder of Clear Blue. “We are thrilled with our continued partnership with Raeanna on a new project that will enhance the lives of citizens in Nigeria.”
