Mobile network operators' (MNOs') network expansions and upgrades to 4G, combined with the growing availability of affordable devices, will result in a rising take-up of mobile data plans and increasing mobile data consumption. Operators will primarily opt to use fixed-wireless access (FWA) solutions to provide fixed broadband services; FTTP/B will only be found in selected urban areas in the wealthiest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

This report and associated data annex provide:

• a 5-year forecast of more than 180 mobile and fixed KPIs for SSA, as a whole and for 11 key countries
• an in-depth analysis of the trends, drivers and forecast assumptions for each type of mobile and fixed service, and for key countries
• an overview of operator strategies and country-specific topics, in order to highlight similarities and differences by means of a cross-country comparison
• a summary of results and key implications for mobile and fixed operators.
