Vodafone could soon announce plans to invest GBP 7 billion more into its fixed and mobile broadband networks and support systems in the coming few years, LightReading reported, adding that the company is also shaking up its top group technology team. Group CTO Steve Pusey will likely retain his position. Current Group Networks director Andy MacLeod is seen taking up a new role as head of technology for the Africa, Middle East, and Asia (AME) region, while his counterpart in Europe will be Alberto Ripepi, the current CTO at Vodafone Italy. Vodafone declined to comment. The operator recently launched the Project Spring spending plan, which includes investments in fixed broadband, enterprise services support, and customer experience management (CEM) systems as well as 3G and 4G mobile broadband technology. MacLoed recently noted at a Huawei conference in London that Vodafone will be investing in a number of specialised and emerging technologies such as video optimisation and distributed content management systems, advanced microwave backhaul technology, small cells, LTE-Advanced, and SON (self-organizing networks) systems.
