Egypt is making strides in technological self-reliance with the opening of its first mobile phone tower manufacturing facility by the Arab Organisation for Industrialisation (AOI). Situated within the Aircraft Factory, this new center represents a significant leap in localizing technology and reducing reliance on imports. Already, the facility has achieved a 100% local manufacturing rate for mobile phone towers, fulfilling orders for Etisalat Misr and setting the stage for expanded production and potential export opportunities across Africa and the Arab world.
