A Telecom26 announced that she was nominated by her longtime client, SystemOne, to provide connectivity to new health clinics in Angola and Niga © ria. The two companies already work together in Ghana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, where SystemOne has tested more than 1,3 million blood samples for tuberculosis, HIV and COVID using the Telecom26 network.

Unreliable bandwidth and patchy connectivity are issues encountered by ehealth programs around the world. The traditional route is to buy local SIMs to provide device connectivity. Unfortunately, this limits users to a mobile network operator – and adds juggling multiple SIMs between devices to find the strongest local network to a long list of headaches for healthcare providers.
Telecom26's global SIMs are bundled with 1100 mobile networks from over 625 mobile operators in over 220 countries.
Telecom26's global SIM cards and routers were developed with the specific aim of improving connectivity in remote and rural areas. They allow devices to automatically access and switch between multiple mobile networks - and any Wi-Fi or LANs - both at home and abroad to ensure they are using the best performing service at all times.
