MTN Ghana has said that a significant nationwide network upgrade would begin in order to enhance customer satisfaction and lower carbon emissions.
The update will entail swapping out the current mobile network infrastructure for technology that is more ecologically friendly and efficient. The project is scheduled to be finished in August 2024.
MTN Ghana’s General Manager for the Northern Sector, Nii Adotey Mingle revealed that the value of having a cutting-edge network is to assist the company’s transition into a platform player. He said that clients will receive a more robust and dependable service as a consequence of this update.
According to him the plan also involves replacing older equipment with modern, lighter and more energy-efficient ones, which will result in a clean-up of their towers.
MTN is on schedule to make the planned $1 billion in network investments by 2025. The business is still working to increase its coverage, enhance client data experiences, and support environmentally friendly behaviors.
He disclosed it at this year’s MTN Editors’ Forum at Lancaster Kumasi City Hotel in Kumasi.
Through its numerous community development activities, MTN Ghana, the largest telecommunications network in Africa, has touched the lives of 4.5 million people, an impressive social effect.
The telecom behemoth showed its dedication to corporate social responsibility by contributing an astounding GHs 106.5 million to charitable endeavors all throughout the nation.
According to Nii Adotey Mingle, General Manager of MTN Ghana for the Northern Sector, this major investment demonstrates MTN Ghana’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Ghanaians.
Charles Osei Akoto, Senior Manager and Regional Technical Head for the Northern Sector at MTN, also stated that the stealing of their cables affects the services the company provides to its clients.
Among other things, he attributed the predicament to the installation of filling stations, roads, and drainage systems.
“The problem we face is that although we install the lines properly, people working at the sides of the road frequently cut the cables. Additionally, they separate each and every pole from the switch when they cut them. As a result, others who utilize the poles in different places are unable to use them,” he stated.
Given that the government has approved the placement of the cables along the approved routes, especially near community roadsides, Mr. Osei Akoto consequently appealed for public assistance in the battle against the practice.
In the Ashanti Region, where 471 fiber optic cable cuts have been reported since the year’s commencement, fiber optic cable cuts remain a serious issue that disrupt MTN Ghana’s operations.
However, because the company’s workers made stronger attempts to repair the fiber optic cables, just 38 out of the 471 cuts have had an impact on consumers or subscribers.
Fiber optic cable outages damage telecom infrastructure, which has a negative impact on the company’s ability to provide clients with effective and efficient digital services.
