Cellphone tower battery thefts will cost customers and companies millions

MTN general manager: network operations Ernest Paul said the battery theft and related vandalism is costing MTN hundreds of millions of rands and the impact on the entire industry is exorbitant.

“There is a high cost to customers and network providers each time a battery is stolen. To replace batteries at 100 sites would cost over R10m. We must avoid the costs of these thefts because if left unchecked the entire communities, individual customers and small businesses alike in affected areas will struggle to access their mobile services,” Paul said.

Is better towers need surveillance to be monitored and quick respond from police and security companies
