To date, NuRAN has had to finance all site deployments from equity at the corporate level. Our plan has always been to finance site deployments predominately through debt at the African level. As we await the completion of the proposed $27M USD of African debt financing, we are pleased to continue the process of deploying sites. We remain committed to accelerating the deployment of sites while we continue to announce new and significant contracts. Our goal has been to reach 10,000 sites under contract, and we are quickly approaching that goal with 3,142 sites already under contract" stated Francis Letourneau, CEO and President of NuRAN."
