— Agreement Follows Huawei Network Deal, Positioning T2 for Market Leadership
T2 Mobile has signed a multi-million-dollar strategic partnership with Knot Solutions, an India-based leader in digital transformation, to modernize its Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operations Support Systems (OSS). The deal marks another milestone in T2’s ambitious comeback strategy, following closely on the heels of its recent infrastructure agreement with Huawei.
The partnership, announced at Gitex Nigeria, attracted leading figures from Africa’s telecom industry, underscoring the significance of the move for Nigeria’s digital economy. Knot Solutions will deploy its flagship cloud-native platform, RaptrDXP™, enabling T2 to deliver hyper-personalized services, real-time billing, and seamless customer experiences.
“This is not just a systems upgrade,” said Obafemi Banigbe, CEO of T2 Mobile. “It’s a customer-first revolution that transforms how people interact with their digital world—seamlessly, instantly, and on their terms.”
Sumanth Konuru, CEO of Knot Solutions, emphasized that the project goes beyond efficiency. “Africa’s telecom landscape is transforming rapidly, and modernization of BSS and OSS is at the heart of this change. With RaptrDXP™, T2 is moving from rigid service models to a dynamic, hyper-personalized ecosystem,” he said.
The collaboration with Knot complements T2’s deal with Huawei, which focuses on upgrading the company’s core network infrastructure to boost coverage, improve data speeds, and enhance service reliability. Together, the two partnerships form a dual transformation strategy: Huawei driving network modernization, and Knot powering digital engagement.
T2’s four-phase strategy—Stabilisation, Modernisation, Transformation, and Growth—is anchored in its ambition to reposition as Nigeria’s Digital Lifestyle Partner, offering not only voice and data, but also digital financial services, content, cloud, and smart lifestyle products.
Chairman Thomas Etuh and the company’s investors framed the deal as a strong vote of confidence in Nigeria’s digital economy. Analysts note that the back-to-back investments reflect belief not just in technology, but also in Nigeria’s people, talent, and long-term growth trajectory.
