PanTel
Status: 🚧 Placeholder - Under Planning
Monorepo Structure: This project is integrated as a submodule in the panda_monorepo monorepository.
Joint Venture: PanTel is a joint venture between:
- Sankofa - Sankofa Phoenix cloud infrastructure platform
- PANDA - Pan-African Network for Digital Advancement
Note: The actual PanTel project content is archived in loc_az_hci under an archive beginning with 6g_gpu. This directory serves as the project placeholder and will reference the archived content when unpacked.
Overview
PanTel is a telecommunications and connectivity infrastructure joint venture between Sankofa and PANDA (Pan-African Network for Digital Advancement). The project combines Sankofa's cloud infrastructure capabilities with PANDA's digital advancement network to deliver telecommunications and connectivity services.
The project content is currently archived in the loc_az_hci project under a 6g_gpu* archive. This directory serves as a placeholder for the PanTel project which will be unpacked and integrated into the panda_monorepo structure.
