HARARE, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwean internet access provider Dandemutande on Thursday officially launched a partnership deal with Chinese telecommunications company China Telecom to provide faster internet connectivity for Chinese businesses in the southern African country.
Never Ncube, chief executive officer of Dandemutande, said the partnership enables Chinese businesses in Zimbabwe to get fast and reliable bandwidth from Zimbabwe back to China.
Dandemutande, an information and communication technology solutions provider and internet access provider, has a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including internet connectivity solutions, data center services, and cloud solutions.
Ncube said the company's partnership with China Telecom ensures that there is a dedicated line specifically for Chinese businesses, which reduces latency.
