With the advent of COVID-19, Zain is constantly addressing the significant growth in broadband traffic. Since March 2020, Zain has witnessed a 20 – 50% increase in high-speed broadband data traffic across various markets. National regulatory authorities have granted additional radio frequency spectrum free-of-charge to Zain on a temporary basis, to expand radio network capacity. In other markets, access has been granted to increase international bandwidth to meet increasing data demands. Zain Sudan has sent out 60 million SMS to spread awareness on preventative tips and communicate advice and messages provided by the Ministry of Health and other governmental entities. It has also conducted 200,000 call outs providing automated messages on the virus.
